    Silicone-Treated Sheet As A Tarp?

    Hackaday has a post up about using Silicone and Naptha to waterproof a (presumably) cotton sheet into a waterproof tarp.

    https://hackaday.com/2022/11/23/hard...terproof-tarps

    Anyone have any experience with this? How durable would this be?

    I'm not looking to make one, I'm just curious.

    I've made two tarps using that technique. See this thread for more info.
