I stand corected. I had a couple of feet of the stuf and thought I would
try to see how it behaved w/ a coating and I like the results. I have yet
to price it out. You may be right, it may be to cost prohibitive. I shall
look in to it soon. Also I do not know how it behaves when wett. I do know
it seems to shrink somewhat behaving kind of like cotton when wett. This
may be a favorable quality, without the disadvantages of organic fabric.
Yet it has a "soft" canvas like texture that would make it easier to taylor
around frames.
thanks: michael
