kokaneegirl 0 #1 March 27, 2003 Is there a safe and NON-permanent way to write something on the top skin of a canopy? Something that could be easily seen after opening, but not permanent... Any suggestions would be helpful. Cheers! Sandy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riddler 0 #3 March 27, 2003 I'm not sure chalk would adhere to a ZP canopy very well - on opening it would probably look more like the infamous baby-powder "explosions". Not to mention getting smeared quite a bit while packing. I wouldn't put any sort of chemical (marker, etc) on my canopy unless it was ready for the trash-bin. Never know what might react unfavorably with the fabric. At the very least it might stain permanently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheMonkey 0 #7 March 27, 2003 top skin or bottom skin??? only people that would see the topskin would be other jumpers above you...i suggest a sharpee, though may slightly decrease the value of your canopy at sale time... --------------------- Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!

PhreeZone 20 #9 March 28, 2003 Markers or ink will stain ZP or F111 (been there, done that while making wind blades) What is the end purpose going to be? Is it something that you could tack on with masking tape and peel off after a jump?Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lolie 0 #10 March 28, 2003 What about window chalk? It would most likely stick a lot better to zero-p fabric than normal chalk... (... but I'm wondering if this isn't an F-111 canopy... ) I don't know if it has any chemicals in it that might be detrimental to it, but it seems pretty harmless. -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
