    Finally Finished!!

    Hello fellow hangers!

    I know in the past I have been talking about the family tarp that I was planning and designing. I can now say that I am finished and have the final vid for y'all to check out.

    I soaked it in diluted clear silicone roughly 1 tube to 1 gal of mineral spirits. I don't know if the sun drying it quickly or not steep enough but I had a few runs, but I was ready to be done.

    I may resoak in the future, but the important thing is that it's waterproof.

    Comments welcome

    Thanks Caveman!

    I was having a little trouble getting to do that.

    How did you do it?

    Nice. It's good to know I'm not the only one that tears apart hard drives for the magnets.
