[Paddlewise] working w/neoprene

Hi PaddleWisers,

I want to make neoprene cockpit covers for myself and a friend and need some 
paddle wisdom.  Most of what I've read talks about glueing the neoprene with 
cement.  Is this preferable to sewing, or do you recommend sewing *and* 
glueing?

Will sewing compromise the strength of the material? And, can a household 
machine handle neoprene?  Does glueing with the right cement create a strong 
enough bond alone?  so many questions!

Many thanks for any help,
S Casey Jorgensen
