I used elastomeric paint on nylon, so some difference in materials there. I learned belatedly that I really should have used a thinned first coat for better penetration. That would probably apply to canvas as well. It also seemed to go on better with a brush than a roller, which still surprises me.

Best of luck, and be sure to send us some pics of the final product!

Is this a class project, or one of your own?
