I used 18oz coming in yellow not black with the 40oz
The 18 is effective.

The tool pouch is 6 years old. I doahn throw it around but pick itm up and set it down with the load of tools you see here. The lapped seam is one inch prepared with washing with Palmolive dish soap, then isopropyl rinse and dry.

Fabricating a water proof roll top laptop bag:

Find a box enclosing the laptop and chosen padding. We recommend one layer hard foam, one softer foam.

Take box apart. Evaluate the cardboard overlaps to accommodate the laptop box with 1.5 inch laps.

Place box over vinyl. Mark and cut.

Reassemble cardboard box using UPS acceptable package tape (WAL)

Tape vinyl over cardboard box, gluing seams as you form vinyl over cardboard.

Tape cardboard box where glue may seep out from the vinyl laps.

Cut out cardboard box. Try a breadknife for pry n chop.

Glue and SEW straps.
