Hi Tom

I had several pieces of awning I was going to use for a skin. When I saw that it was going to take several seams to get a useable size, I opted for a new piece of canvas,(10oz)
The awning had stripes and wear spots and I don't think it would shrink up well with whatever coating was allready on it ,
The new canvas was easy to sew and took paint well. For $27.00 it wasn't worth it to use the awnings.

Good luck with yours. Terry
