You could probably do the seams with a hand-held version - assuming such a thing exists - of something like those food vacuum sealers for food that melts the pouches edges together.

Probably take a lot of time, and trial & error...more than it's worth for me to be able/willing to put in...maybe when I retire and can presumably have the time to pursue my interests more.
Have you seen the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's inflatable airplane, designed for the U.S. Military during WW-II?
