Speaking of Durafin.

What is a good source for a treated cotton duck such as Durafin?

Zane (my main use for it would be on budget jobs etc so price is a factor)

I never used any but i seem to remeber gears ago you could get army duck likE $4 a tard probable 46".a company in India used to call me In the past twice a year maybe Clareden textiles try g to sell me cotton canvas.  Anyone else ever have them call them.?

I priced out some  10 oz treated duck last fall for a prospector's tent a guy wanted made. I couldn't get over how much it had gone up.It was almost as expensive as Sunbrella.

We use alot of a product called Barracuda. it's an inexpensive acrylic that we use for RV awnings,boat covers,etc...J. Ennis fabrics used to carry it under the name all weather. It retails for around 15 or 16 a yard by 60".

If it's something you want to look into Zane, let me know and I'll get the stats for you. I've no idea what your suppliers would call it down there.
