    You can soften tyvek in a dryer with no heat and a wet towel, tumble until desired texture is achieved.

      Yep, that's the easiest way, but I don't have a dryer...

    Thanks for the advice, probably that would be the best. But in the end it is not really worth it for me. Tyvek is quite expensive here (Europe), tyvek tape as well. The acryll inkt also not cheap. All packed up it is bigger then my 3x3 sylnylon tarp. Only advantage is the weight... Well, I hope someone has some advantage from this 'project' and takes his/her conclusions from it.
    Thanks for watching anyway, and have a great day !

    Most excellent job! The Tyvek lettering looks no worse than, let's say, "KELTY" or "EUREKA", or some such brand name. Actually, I think it looks very distinctive and rather good. Paint it again. Good job. Thanks for the vid.

    Hi, with some certain plastics glue, i assume it will hold up pretty good. It was one of the first options, but after the "softening" of the tyvek, the edges where not too straight anymore, and then it would be a lot of work to straighten everything out and get the glue on properly, it seemed to me that the tape would be easier so I went for the tape option.

    No clue, it took me a while to find this acrillic paint. But still I would not go again for tyvek, it is too bulky for my needs. I only use it now and then when having a fire close, mostly in the winter. Good luck with your quest, and when you find a good dye, plz let me know. Still curious though what would be the best combination of dye and tyvek.

    I think I'll try soaking it in a bucket for color - "Ty-dye"

    I've heard Tyvek is breathable. Does the dye affect the breath ability of the fabric?

    • @dabberty
      @dabberty  9 лет назад +1

      +theslowwalker Not at all, the dye soaked in the fibers quite a lot, and didn't leave much color behind. The functions of the tyvek remained unchanged. I was not lucky in finding another way of coloring tyvek properly. If you have some idea's, please let me know.

    It was the only pure Acryll inkt I could find in Prague. The brand, sorry, don't remember, but I bought it in a shop which has allkinds of inkts and paints for painting etc.
    Hope this helps.

    Thank you. Good video. I didn't catch the name of the ink you used. Would you please post the name of the ink.

      Not sure what his does, but my 12x10 piece of Tyvek weighs 1 lb. 7 oz.

    how is it in heavy rain? is it waterproof????

    • @dabberty
      @dabberty  8 лет назад +2

      Hi, in normal rain it performed just fine, didn't use it in heavy rain yet, but i'm sure it will be fine too. I did use it a lot in snowy weather, and a couple if times in heavy snowing weather. Only 'issue' was that the material stretched a little due to the weight, so it sagged slightly, other then that all good.

    I've got an Idea for you mate. ok good Idea using the tape on your anchor points but what I do to improve that is put in some brass eyelets as there stronger and less chances of ripping out of the tarp under load. Rod

    Non-white tarp looks good.

    How many ounces/milliliters of ink did you use for this project?

    • @dabberty
      @dabberty  8 лет назад

      +Grant Baril This was about 4 years ago, but if I remember well, I used 3 bottles, of each around 100 ml..

    Instead of trying to wrinkle it by hand, take it to a laundromat and put it in a dryer with no heat for an hour.

    • @wtfo7021

      Yes, or the washer - perhaps any vigerous agitation will soften it

    Your camo job is better than you give yourself credit for. Just add a few more coats.
