A customer who operates a flea market booth has a canopy that utilizes the silver tarps that lash on to a steel frame. The tarp is flame treated polypropelene, just like you get at hardware stores for covering boats, etc. He wants it lettered with paint/ink, but I have no idea what will adhere and be flexible/durable enough to withstand the folding, creasing, and rolling that the tarp will be sujected to. Does anybody have experience with this animal?

Prisoner 19114 brings up a good question.......I recommend DEKA. I used it on a Gymanstics tumbling mat and it holds up fine. Give it a whirl and add a littls "MAZEPPA RAIN" to it! Heh hee

Prisoner 19114, thats funny. anyway another to tackle that momma, is if you don't have any Deka, use some ti-coat (brush, roll, or spray it on) that is used on banners to make it enamel receptable. and letter it with 1-shot. done deal
