Taping the seams

I did all of the spot welds with the woven tape and it held perfectly while I cut the zip ties and put the one piece seams over them. I went over the edges of the spot welds with the grinder so they wouldn't cause air bubbles under the long seams.









I've been doing the overlapping layers of biaxial tape on the outside seams. It's been really hot, over 90 degrees for much of the summer, so when I do the work, it's at night, and I still have to work fast because the barn holds the heat.
I have done two layers on all but two of the outside seams. I used poly tarp mat
erial "poor man's peel ply" on the second layer of tape and it worked fairly well. There are some creases to sand from where the poly sheet was folded in the packaging.









I had to grind out some air bubbles from the first layer of tape, but overall it has worked out well.


The corners don't seem to be that high relative to everything else.
