Dear Netfah,
I am covering my sitting room sofas with a clear plastic vinyl and was not sure what gauge was best suited for the job. I have seen thicknesses ranging from 10-30 online, but am still not sure. Please advise.

Dear Perplexed About Plastic,
Your inquiry is a common one for crafters looking to cover or design anything from outdoor furniture and outerwear, to boat cushions and indoor furnishings. In your case, a good thickness or weight as some people call it, is 12-16 gauge. This size will offer you a durable enough material that is still pliable and easy to sew or heat bond. Remember, the higher the gauge number on clear plastic vinyl, the thicker it is.
