I had a coupon for joanns so i decided to get some polyester and give it a try just for fun. WE shall see how it turns out!!!
No it is most definintly not PU coated..... It was from walmart for 1.50. Ive felt coated ripstop. This stuff is most likely rip stop polyester. It was really light and great for waterproofing. I didnt have it mixed as well as i should have... Thus the chunks that didnt stick.... sad day.......

The thread goes thru the experimentation everyone was doing, so it's long. I did have success doing it with my first DIY tarp.
