Buy Oilcloth Fabric ?
I'm looking for small amounts of oilcloth fabric to make several waterproof
tobacco pouches - the kind of fabric similar to what Australian Driza-bone coats are made of. Any clues out there? -- |

Aren't they made of waxed cotton, like Berber jackets? Maybe if you googled for waxed cotton... -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

I used to have an oilcloth coat and it came with a tin of 'dressing' that one could use to touch up the leaky bits. Historically, oil cloth was created from boiled linseed oil mixed with something like iron oxide? to fill in the weave of the fabric. Don't know about linseed oil and tobacco - probably bad for you. Could try beeswax? Then with lighter and pouch would have handy firestarter. liz young in sunny california |

Linseed is a drying oil. Boiling it increses the speed at which it oxidizes (dries). Six months to a year after it was used on a fabric it would be completely stable and not come off on anything. Iron oxide would give you a black oil cloth, you could use other (suitable to the fabric) pigments to make other colors. In Fine Art, (good) oil paints are just pigment mixed with linseed oil. Boiled linseed is a common medium to add for thinning to glaze or etc. NightMist artist -- Come to the dark side. We have cookies. |
