color=#0000ff size=2>Basically, what he recommends is using exterior latex house
paint, thinned with water so it will penetrate the fibers. Use more than 1
coat if necessary. This has been discussed on a period encampments list on
Yahoo several times, and as I recall this is the general consensus as to the
best method. Fabric paint is available at craft stores, but if you need a
lot of it it gets expensive and some types recommend heat-setting (ironing or
dryer) to fully cure and bond.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

painted banners, Mistress Alix and Mistress Stacia among them. I'm sure
they would be happy to give you advice if you wish.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

on what Paint to use for outdoor banner....<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10">Greetings all!<BR><BR>I am truly in need of any
advice or suggestions you all can give me... I am making an "outdoor
banner" of sorts. It is something that will be used in all sorts of
weather that we run into in the upper portion of Ansteorra, AKA, anything is
possible! <BR><BR>I am painting it on Trigger fabric, and need to make
sure 1) it will stay on and won't flake an incredible amount, and 2) that it
will not peal off on other parts of the trigger fabric or other parts of that
are already painted on the banner.<BR><BR>I'm not exactly on a budget, but will
need a lot of paint to finish this job. Is there some kind of craft paint
that will fit my needs? Or is there something I can pick up at a craft
store to add to the paint? Again...I'm in desperate need of all of your
experienced voices!<BR><BR>Thanks so much, <BR>Aelesia Of Warwick</FONT>
