Eric, I can't answer your question on the fabric you are refering to but have you tried using a roller to coat nylon? I set up the fabric piece and coat with a squeege. Polyester thread will work fine just coat after everything is sewn. If you copy a tent like you speak of, post some pics and maybe a drawing of it. I think it's a worthwhile project and I would be interested in making a tent like that. BTW where all still waiting for the chair you promised us. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
