I made a quick and easy tutorial on how to make flexible dirt roads. If interested check it out at: YouTube link Thanks for watching! |

Very nice. I had a curling problem with mine, like the duct tape idea. |

Wow that looks great. I am going to have to give that a try. |

Yes, the duct tape idea is a really good one. I tried a water section on canvas (which I think may have been your video as well), but I did a narrow section and it curled so much on my test piece that I abandoned the idea. Will have to revisit the method. |

Thanks for watching guys! Yeah the duct tape is a game changer for dealing with the curling or you can place a thin line of caulk on the backside of the canvas and stick it to some wax paper to dry…but I find the tape to be easier. |

When I use fabric for terrain bases (I use ordinary cotton) I give it a very heavy spray with cheap hair spray on the edges. Prevents fraying and curling. |

It looks great! I wish I had the patience and time to do this myself, but I'm too lazy to spend this much time on roads (I'd need a lot, too) when I'd rather be painting figures or, in a pinch, buildings. I have to recognize my limitations and try to buy stuff similar to this when I can find it. |
