Hi All,

This may have been discussed already, but the search isn't functioning at the moment

I'd like to try a test printing on cotton fabric, yes I know that there are pre-prepared products available, but nothing locally for me anyway.

I am considering just sizing the cotton with gelatin to reduce bleedthrough.

It's going to be for the whole bottom of a surfboard, which is why it has to be 100% cotton instead of nylons/polyester blends and I don't think (actually hoping) the resin will be rejected by the gelatin.

Resin doesn't laminate properly to anything synthetic.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I have read about using a combination of water based PVA and white acrylic paint, but that much PVA glue will likely delaminate.

I'm going for cotton fabric as opposed to rice paper as this board has compound curves that are problematic for papers.

thanks

Glenn
