Thanks Gerald, Michael, Paul et al.

You're right Paul - HH-66 isn't available in the UK. I've searched the web,
but to no avail. I did speak to our local awning maker, who sold me the
material, and he told me they don't use an adhesive these days, but
heat-seal the seams instead.

Can you describe HH-66? Is it an impact adhesive? Anything like Bostik or
Evo-stik?
