Where can I get canvas for slabrollers? Is that an item that can be picked
up in the local hardware store and just cut to size? I am just looking for
advice on where to purchase or options! Thanks

You can get heavy cotton duck (canvas) from an art supply store that
caters to people who make paintings and stretch their own canvas.

I tried sending this last night but don't see where it
went. Sorry if you get this twice.
If you have access to a print shop, they use something
(maybe someone else knows the name) in the printing
process. One side of the material looks like canvas
and the other is like rubber. The printers only use
it so many times and then they get rid of it. I use
it and I love it. It is so much better than canvas.
And it's free. I hope this was helpful. Maybe
someone else has experience as a printer and can give
you the real name for it.

You can also get it from a fabric store. You want 12 oz. or heavier
cotton duck.

Some years ago, I attended a workshop with Lana Wilson. I remembered she
told us that off-set printers used some sort of blanket, that made good work
surfaces. These mats ware out after awhile and you can likely get them free
from a offset print shop. I have not went in search of one, but one day I plan
to. Paul in San Antonio

People who do convertible automobile tops have lots of scraps...nice
heavy acrylic canvas. I'm using some pieces that were cut out for the
rear window area. Also sailmakers, if you live in a sailing area,
use acrylic canvas for sail covers and often have lots of good scraps.

I just saw canvas dropcloths in the painting department of Home Depot
today. I have no idea if they would be acceptable, but they might be
cheaper in the long run, you might get three or four out of one dropcloth.
