    That, and maybe it sticks better to the black material (grosgrain?)

    But no smear lines for me. It is so thin you don't even notice it. That's all it takes - just barely wider than the thread itself. I cringe when I hear people mention paint brushes, foam brushes and talc powder

You’ll want a suitable silicone (like GE Silicone II from the hardware store). Set up the tarp where you can leave it pitched for about 8 hours or so. Apply the thinnest possible layer of silicone (your finger works well) to the stitches (to the stitches only) on the underside of each panel pull (underside of tarp only), and leave the tarp setup till dry (4-12 hours depending on temperature)."

    Yes, I believe it's just 100% silicone. Buy the smallest tube, doesn't take much.
