Soaking would take a TON of material to mix. Would be uneven application as well. Sure, I think you could spray it, but don't go too heavy, as it will run. And you better make sure you clean the crap...

move quickly and evenly, and do it when its very cool outside. The harder it is the faster the silicon will set up and dry on the brush.

I am a journeyman painter. You could spray and back brush, but I would not recommend it. You will get a much better, thicker, even coat if you just brush it.

I would not recommend spray. Using a brush to work the material into the fibers will provide a much better seal. Spray, simply lays the product on top and does not impregnate the material.

I pitched the tarp and used 2" foam brushes and applied it evenly. Used one brush per side, as the silicone sets up pretty quickly...

No smell after a day, none at all...

Thanks, Guys. I'll be hanging this weekend and try all of the advice you've provided. I tried a stuffsack under my knees, and the darn thing just kept slipping around...no bueno. I'll try adjusting...

Right on, guys. Thanks for the tips. I'd rather use what I already have, rather than add more gear. I'll check the didnventory and see what'll work!

Hey, Guys,

I've noticed after my last few hangs, that I have knee pain throughout the night and in the morning. It's the pain you get from , say, resting your feet on a coffee table for a while,...

Thanks for the history lesson, feedback, and advice, Gargoyle. I'm sold on the 7/64. Time to order! Thanks to all of you again for helping out.

Well, now I'm reconsidering the 1/8 for the 7/64. I thought the 12 vs 8 count would make a difference in terms of strength and sag. Also, I was going off of Slowbro's initial write up. I'm hearing...

Thanks, guys. I'm guessing that gy milking out are referring to making sure the spliced section is evenly smoothed out...

Again, your help and expert advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Bubba! A any suggestions on a good site from which to purchase?

Hi, Guys.

I'm looking to order up some Amsteel Blue (1/8") to make a Whoopie Sling. My only concern about using this material is potential sag. I'm 215 lbs. I currently use webbing and d-rings for...

Genius! That is fantastic, man. I will play with it tonight. This will do exactly what I need it to do, with little time, practically no money, and practically zero weight.

Thank you so much for...

Hi, All.
I made a Blackcat cat tarp, and I need to create something that can close off the front and rear entrances. I live in sierra desert, so blowing sand can be an issue in the valley. In high...

Hi, Guys!
I read practically every post in this thread and decided that I needed to go for it. I made a cat tarp last summer out of Joann Fabrics ripstop. I did this to save time and weight--I could...

Thanks, Guys, for all your input.

That's a good idea. Do you think they sell the "sleeving" at hardware stores? This is something definitely worth looking into. Thanks for the suggestion! I also thought about just using webbig to...

Hi,
Any suggestions on how to sling a hammock so that a suspension system is immune to rock abrasion? Sometimes, trees are really hard to come by where I live, what trees we have usually large...

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'll let you know how it goes. I, too, suspected that the weight issue would be crucial if I was dealing with something right in the center. These are on the ends,...

Hi, All.

I've recently designed a fix for the common problem of my sleeping pad slipping off to the left side and "out" of my hammock. (I know other bottom insulation options exist, but I went...
