  • Tarred Groundcloths and Ponchos

    Greetings all,

    I have a tarred groundcloth and a tarred poncho. Both are rather stiff and I was wondering if there was anything that could be put onto or worked into the material to make it a bit more pliable. Many thanks in advance.

    I found that the groundcloth I made was also stiff. Only now after about 3 months of use has it lost some of its stiffness. All I can say is keep using it they should wear in.
