    I learned that the cement used is critical. I tried a few and HH-66 was much much stronger. A heat gun also helps and supposedly low humidity conditions are needed (HH-66 worked well for me at 50% with some heat from the heat gun).

    I found that the thickness of the fabric doesn't make much difference - .9mm /1100 denier fabric used for roofing is good. If it gets a puncture, it is probably because of something sharp and would have also happened with 1.1mm fabric.
