Light Covering Material

For those of you looking for a covering material that is both strong AND light, check out the "Light Fab" made by Harry Nelson. This stuff is about as thick as dry silk covering, and has an adhesive backing that is heat sensitive. It shrinks really well, also, when you heat it. You use low temperature to apply it (190 to 210 degrees) so you can put it over sheeted foam if you want to. It's pricey...$45.00 for a 15 foot roll, but seems to work well. I covered a Ringmaster with it recently, but haven't painted it as yet. You can check out this product at:

Harry also produces this product as "Color Fab" which is the same product with paint applied, and it comes in various colors.
