: Did you heat shrink it before coating it?

hi kudzu

I think i saw some of your skinning videos on youtube
the fabric was from a local cloth shop "100 % polyester canvas" and it seemed to have a loose weave.
Ironing before coating didn't make much difference to the tightness,( perhaps it was pre-shrunk?) so i went ahead with the coating.
