jute twine as backing
« on: November 18, 2011, 07:33:00 AM »
Anyone ever use it?
I was thinking of unraveling it in thread bundles and using it similar to Sinew.
Any thoughts, ideas etc?
Thanks

Yes, it is a reasonable backing.  It won't do much tension work but it'll hold a back down.  Go thin.  I wouldn't do bundles.  Just glue it on.  Stretch it as much as you can.
