Gluing vs Sewing a Silnylon Tarp

Glued vs sewn silnyon connections. The goal was to make an stronger but still more lightweight tarp by gluing additional fabric where the most stress occurs. Glue used was Elastosil, but i dont know how this transfers to silnet. Anyway, silnet is way to expensive in europe.
Nearly forgot: The fabric was  36 g/m2, 20den with single silcone coating ordered from extremtextil.de. These guys got everything!

Check the follow up with the details. The tent held really well on the pct and was mosquitoproof at around 800 g for 3 persons.  At a fraction of the costs of dyneema
