[GZG] Hex cloth



Tony, 

Could you have used the smaller template from Litko to produce a larger one? (ie using a
big sheet of styrene or lexan or something)? If you got a sheet that was 4x4 or 4x6 in
'active area', then you'd only need two passes to make a full hexmat. 

The part that boggles me, and you may have looked into this, is that I've been looking at
airbrush fabric paints. All seem to imply heat-setting at about 140 C. The problem is they
want you to heat set evenly all at once. How do you heat set an 8x4 or 8x6 mat with a
household iron? (Answer: Good luck!)

So, are there any fabric paints that an airbrush can handle that don't require heat
setting? I'm curious how the guys at geohex or MKP or any of these spots managed this
challenge? Industrial drying/heating room?
