Folks around here use stuff called Isinglass (sp?) It holds up well in the South Texas sun, so should give you no problems. But as all things good, it's PRICEY!!!!

Yipster,

Contact "Karsten Tenten" in Zwaag (NH).
They're making tents (to obvious!!!!) and used to make sprayhoods.
Pretty sure they can help.



Good luck
