Creating plastic cover for bike

I want to create a lightweight cover for a bike.  I'm thinking of using black builders' plastic with a number of seams to get a good fit.

Wondering if something like the Grunt Builders Film Joining tape would last for the seams or if I should do a heat bond?

 

Thanks

Simon

Re: Creating plastic cover for bike

Hello @sps42 

 

I propose using GRUNT 48mm x 30m Builders Film Joining Tape for ease of installation and cutting. The best feature of the tape is that it can be removed and replaced or taped over again. The heat bond method is not a bad idea, But I believe that the builder's tape is more forgiving of mistakes. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
