Using garbage bag material to make a shoud

Hi guys,

I am wondering in anyone on IIS has ever used the thicker type garbage bags to make a telescope shroud.

As I need to make a new shroud for my 12.5" f/5 truss reflector, and constantly have to put the shroud on and off, thoughts that 2 x tie up garbage bags with their bottoms cut out and joined could be a low cost way of doing it giving a tie around mechanism as well on either end.

In terms of joining them together either a glue like Aqua seal which works a treat on synthetic material or even trying to iron the bags together at low heat with a domestic iron could work.

Look forward to thoughts.

John K.
