Quick question-
I'm about to build some 8x10 bellows for the first time,
and I'd quite like to make the tapered to straight section type-
I'm assuming I'll need to make 2 sets, and join them in the middle?
Would anyone have any tips,
or might be willing to pass on the benefit of their experience?
I have the materials, I'm using blackout cloth (white was all I could find here) with book cloth inside and out- all reasonably thin stuff-
but is there a type of adhesive I should be thinking of for the join?
Contact adhesive might be a nightmare for that,
but maybe it depends on how it's laid up...
Please bear in mind that I don't have easy access to American brand-name products-
And yes, I understand that I might be slightly crazy;
anyone who suggests that it would be easier to buy them would be quite correct-
though maybe just a little obvious-
