It's all made of paper, craft paper infused with a solution of formaldehyde and melamine.

Cool idea. I spent several years working in quality control in a factory that made melamine laminate. I have a stack of scrapped panels that are 5 foot by 12 foot by 3/8 inch thick. The stuff is almost indestructable.

Just off the top of my head: soap will slow down a leak in a tent, might get you through the night. Helps stop itching, I carry a small piece of Fels Naptha which breaks down urushiol in poison ivy. Lube for zippers or a fire making spindle.

Small piece of soap!

I worked in quality assurance at Nevamar for three years. We made high pressure laminates. Contact cement is great but adds steps. We attached laminate sheeting to plywood or particle with Elmer's white glue and never had any problems.

Yeah, I'm going to make one to sieve dirt from my compost pile to start seeds this weekend. It should work well. Granted hardware cloth is a little more challenging/dangerous to work with than felt but what's life without risk.

Use hardware cloth, it will make a great temporary/disposable sieve.
