maybe the ones you make dont smell...the one that i have smelled bad...really bad for one full year...stinky canvas....ummmm

 

[ocdbeetle]

I think it has something to do with how its treated......The first top I did still smells.....This good canvas which is treated by a different process doesnt......well, it does when I get it from the mill but after having it out working with it the smell goes away......or either I'm just used to it....

 

[AATLAS1X]

You are used to it.....Yes OLD it was.
