Inflatable Fabrication Techniques

I have started to test inflatable fabrication techniques. Just making it air-tight was not easy at all. For the pin-up next week, three different materials and seaming method will be explored and at least one from each will be presented.

1. polyethylene or clear vinyl + hot seaming
2. tyvek + sewing
3. latex + coating

I don't know what the final product is going to be. I was thinking to do the second option, but I have no experience with it.
