Response to MAking Tarps and rolls

I have worked with a few materials and I agree with the tissue paper. Mine always looked like glued tissue paper!
I started working with a product called Magic Sculpt (MS). Comes in 2 parts. there are a lot of 2 part epoxies out there so you will need to try all before you like one over another. The reason I like the MS is the way it can be rolled out super thin and the way it takes on "tarp" like characteristics. You can take two 1/4 inch balls, roll them together and make 10 or more really cool tarps, bags, bed rolls, etc! The ONLY thing you have to do is (1) work on a piece of glass or clean plexiglass and (2) coat everything in corn starch. Lite coat. I use an acrylic handle paint brush, 1/2 inch diameter, coat in starch, coat the surface (and keep putting small amounts down and moving the MS around so it won't stick, and roll it out. make it as thin as you want. starts to harden in about 30 minutes and total done in 8 hours. Brush off the extra starch and you are ready to paint!!!
Email me if you have any questions.

Bob
