I am having trouble creating the "right" effect with my homemade tarps, and I would like to present some questions:
I am looking to create a tarp over the turret opening on an M10 and a few bed rolls.
1) I have read some How to's on the subject and all seem to say "soak" the tissue with 50/50 water and elmers, My problem is I cannot seem to find the fine line between soaked and not enough. It always seems to either remain looking like a used kleenex and a torn mess. How many tissues do you use for each? Should you layer them? Is there a better brand? Is "tissue paper" better than Kleenex type?
2) When during the process do you mold the tissue into what you want? Should you wait until it dries a little and is more plyable or place it on right away?
Any help would be great! Thanks!
