Glad to be of service HVH.

Here is a scratchbuilt 1/24 scale lumber hauler by Ken Hamilton. He used Verlinden foil for the canopy, with superb results. I saw it in person last weekend and it is AMAZING from top to bottom....it has Best in Show written all over it.

Never thought about usinf foil for a tarp, VB... Now that you mention it, it'd probably work better for the truck tarp I need than the tissue paper I usually use...  I have a plastic kit part that look fine, but since I want to roll the sides up and tie them off, I think the foil would work better.  I can just drape the foil over the plastic tarp and it'll take all the wrinkles impressions that're molded into the kit part!  Thanks, man...

Both of the above methods work well..

If you would like to remove the tent covering at a later date, and be able to replace it...

cover your tent framework with loose saranwrap first (drape it.. don't pull it tight), then apply your Kleenex canvas.. The saranwrap will keep the tissue from glueing itself to the framework.

After the glue dries and hardens, you can take it off to work on the inside of the tent

IF you take it off, do not paint it while it is off, the paint(especially a waterbase paint) will soften the glue..

once everything hardens, and is painted, you can discard the saranwrap....
