camo cloth backing ?
« on: May 07, 2013, 10:42:00 AM »
Are there any specific material to use for the backing ? I know its been done, but I'd like to use a camo cloth material to back a set of limbs with and shoot Thunderbird over and was wandering what things to consider (do's and donts) before tackling this project ! Thanks for any input !

Be sure the cloth is as thin as possible so you don't add too much physical weight to the limbs. If you need he backing for insurance use linen or silk. A paisley silk neck tie($2 from Good Will, etc)would make a unique and effective backing.

If your limbs are dark, it's effective to spray a primer, light gray or tan, to make sure the camo colors stay true.
