Pards- i have made 2 CS painted cloth groundsheets ,coated with the usual latex / turnentine/linseed oil mix-2 coats on the black side and a coat of linseed oil and Japan dryer on the white side.
Problem is they still absorb water,so ,without going into the period formulas (toxic at best, dangerous at least) has anyone had experience using oil based paint on cloth goods? If so , how did it turn out?And does it shed water, or at least not absorb it ?whatever paint I use I will finish it with another coat of turpentine/linseed oil and Japan dryer. i know this has been covered before as to the formula but my question is regarding oil based paints.
thanks
