     Steve Burge wrote in message ... (...) Diluted yellow carpenters glue works well. Dilute about 6:1 water:glue, slosh fabric in it, allow to dry, then iron smooth.

        Re: Sail Making..was: Big Thunder —Tom Reed
   (...) Hi Sean, I wanted to say that the liquid stiffener I use has never shown any problems with becoming brittle! I have some sails that are over a year old and they aren't brittle. A nice feature of the liquid is that you can vary the (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jun-01, to lugnet.pirates)
