Canvas Tarp Suppliers

Attention Shoppers : Big Duck Canvas now has on sale a 60% cotton 40% Linen canvas ... 14 oz. 60” wide Looks like nice stuff .... I ordered some to paint on so we’ll have a quick evaluation. 8)
 
The lighter the canvas, the easier it is to apply ... easier to “wet out” ..
 
Would you recommend linen fabric made from flax fibers or what would be your minimum canvas thickness and cotton content over 3mm ply?
I know your a foamies.these guy but realy mines more foam than wood :D
 
Linen fabric is more durable than the cotton fibers.. Stronger too ... more expensive ... Being that either will be sized to the job (weight) , and painted , there shouldn’t be much of a difference...
 
Stephen , thanks for the tip !!! WELCOME to Foamieland !!! :D
 
Big Duck has a sale on some nice “biscuit” denim .... that would be nice for a Tweed look on a Foamie ... Just sayin’ ... and oh yes, they have 30 oz. canvas . :eek: :shock: That’s just gotta be “TOUGH”... :thumbsup:
 
I think having a brain fart:
Ok y'all when applying the PMF, we're putting it on foam===>glue===>covering right?

So the TB2 soaks in to the canvas from below? The reason I'm asking is i saw that big duck sells dyed canvas... I'm debating getting natural & painting over it, or dyed & just use the thinned tb2, hopefully not ruining the color.

Your thoughts?

What are you going to paint on top Ned ? Some kind of clear coat ?
 
I was thinking of a retro vibe with two tone matching my car and an off white, unless I can get the teal canvas and the glue doesn't discolor it.

If I'm going to paint it, I'll just get plain and put a similar color over it.
 
I havent tried it but I was wondering if you used a colored canvas and painted over it with untinted paint base. i know that untinted paint was used on one of Woodbutchers builds instead of I believe varnish or epoxy.
 
Might be good to test that , as the color might fade in the Sunlight… There are UV coatings you can use ...
 
Thought I would post this up.

My last purchase of a 12x9 canvas drop cloth at Harbor Freight did not have a seam through the middle. Not sure if it is a fluke of not, but if this is the new standard for HF canvas then it could be a good thing. Cost was the same and quality seemed the same.

FWIW, I bought two 12x9 canvas tarps from HF at separate times during the last 6 months. Neither had seams.
