Making tarps the easy way.

[scottie3158]

I saw this on a web site the other day and thought I would give it a go. I am impressed at how easy it is and how good the results are. Put neat PVA/white glue in a bowl and mix in the colour of your choice. Next on a piece of glass smear a very thin layer of vasaline. Then using a large brush paint on the mix then let it dry totally.
Next peel off and form into the tarp or bed etc. of your choice. it is so easy I cant believe i have never thought of it.

Paul that does look good, and well worth a try.
I've just used some VMS Paper fold, a lot dearer than this though, but looked good.

I wonder if spraying with matt varnish would seal it and ensure longevity ?
