I think it's important to keep it under tension as it dries but the weight keeps it flat in use.

I wonder if rolling (which I intend to do and store in a poster tube) might cause this to happen. Your impressions would be much appreciated!Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09486311422850536804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-63166823624115968042014-03-15T17:27:26.896+00:002014-03-15T17:27:26.896+00:00Yeah I saw that one tooYeah I saw that one tooWhiskey Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15956327711660800903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-9426583801636096012014-03-15T16:42:19.765+00:002014-03-15T16:42:19.765+00:00Ebay!

Check out my last sentence on <a href="http://drumsdeep.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/sci-fi-terrain.html" rel="nofollow">THIS</a> post I made but a few days prior to yours. Did you go with canvas as per the tutorial? I've gone with heavy calico, but probably won't be attempting anything until the end of the month. I won't be flocking mine, but will drybrush the sand/caulk texture instead.Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09486311422850536804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-26953145528560194132014-03-11T13:49:45.031+00:002014-03-11T13:49:45.031+00:00Excellent, thanks.Excellent, thanks.Steve Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16970745876897456734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-6368161115193480832014-03-11T13:45:16.606+00:002014-03-11T13:45:16.606+00:00http://www.diy.com/nav/decor/decorating-supplies/g...http://www.diy.com/nav/decor/decorating-supplies/glue-tape-adhesives-sealants/sealants/-specificproducttype-decorators_caulk/Soudal-Trade-White-Decorators-Caulk-300ml-11348643?skuId=11858843 <br />I used this stuff, £1.25 a tube from B&Q or a pack of six for £7Whiskey Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15956327711660800903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-86428405334263419892014-03-11T13:24:19.577+00:002014-03-11T13:24:19.577+00:00Fantastic!
