glue or heat weld???

I'm working on a project and need some advice. My goal is to find the cheapest and easiest way to "laminate" two sheets of fabric together with a sheet of netting sandwhiched in the middle.

Still with me?

For example..

I'll put a yard of ripstop nylon fabric on the table.

Then I'll lay a same size piece of netting down - similar to this but made of small wire..

Finally I'll put a second yard of ripstop nylon down.

Then I want to glue or heat seal all three layers together.

I can use any type of fabric but I'd like the finished product ( all three layers fused together) to be somewhat water resistant. Also the fusing method should be easy to do without an expensive machine. Think epoxy cement or home clothes iron.

The best I can come up with on my own is to use :

Heat Sealable Oxford

200 Denier, 6.5oz/sq yd. This fabric has a special coating that makes it possible to be heat-sealed, coated side to coated side, using a household iron. Perfect for dry bags, spray skirts and all water sports for which you need a waterproof bag.

Width: 58" Colors: Nickel Gray, Yellow, Royal, Red, Fl. Orange, Black

$13.25/yd

The netting I'll be using will be thin and will form roughly 1inch by

1inch squares. It should be tough enough to withstand heat or epoxy.

Anybody have any other ideas? If I used glue I'd be able to use cheaper fabric.

We quilters use a lot of fusible web to stick 2 pieces of fabric together. There are several brands, I often use Wonder Under by Pellon. The question is whether this stuff would stick to the netting, or fuse through the netting, and the only way to find out is to experiment. You might need fusible attached to both fabric layers to get a good seal. The fusible comes in different weights. It might be that 2 layers of the lightest weight, one on each side of your netting, would work best. Have a look here for general info:
