You can get an adhesive plaster paper from a sign making store- it come in a huge roll. Or you can do like i do and use the plastic table coverings they sell at fabric stores by the meter.

Once you have the table made what do you use to coat the surface of the canvas so the dye/ink doesn’t transfer each time you do a new print. I use fabric dyes and the surface of my old table was waxed with a sticky spreadable coating which not only kept the fabric in place but was water proof and could be wiped after each printing to keep clean. Unfortunately that wax is no longer available or at least I can’t find any. Any suggestions?

This is a great how-to! We used to use several layers of army-surplus wool blankets to make smaller print surfaces, worked really well.

Hi- You haven’t missed anything. The second piece is applied right over the first. It gives it a bit more tension and it keeps the expensive felt from getting ink and pigment on it. Good luck.
