Ii have actually experienced rubber backed upholster fabric 2x on a project. The first time i was trying to make a gaement with it and it ws nor hanging right w/o softening up. It wennt in the dryr wi an old sneaaker and the backing kind of crumblrd off as the farbric shrank a little.i could then finish the job with my hands. The second was a pavillion i elped domeone make whic lasted about 5 sumers of rai an sun damage before it died. -----Original Message----- Date: Wednesday, May 18, 2011 11:26:04 pm To: "Historical Costume" <h-cost...@indra.com> From: "Robin Netherton" <ro...@netherton.net> Subject: Re: [h-cost] Latex backed fabric question

My experience with those fabrics, though, is that they don't hold up well after the backing is gone; they were never intended to be durable without the backing. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
