Gives people a smile, reduces the possibility of theft. I like it.
Does the solvent in the ink have any effect on fabric integrity?
+1 on David’s comment.
Bonus points for style. Â Nice.
Sharpie inks now as a mix of alcohols as the base. I used alcohol to remove a Sharpie “x” from a REI garage sale item after purchase. That was a hard plastic bike pump. Prob won’t work on fabric.
I confirm, it works
Very nice!
Dripping alcohol on a Sharpie mark in fabric causes it to spread radially. My wife has done some craft projects like this on cotton t-shirts and it comes out looking like tie-dye circles, especially if you put dots of several colors next to one another and do several drops of alcohol. A ripstop might make for some weird shapes. Could be fun!
This is BPL people!!!! Why has nobody asked how much the ink adds to the weight of the shelter? Am I even in the right place?

The math is too confusing for that Ben!
If you’re getting down to brass tacks, then you must know that different colors have different molecular weights…ruminate on that one mates!
