Harrison changing tent issues with dust?

[Arne Croell]

I use one of those sticky lint rollers on the inside surfaces before using it.

My biggest issue with the Harrison tent is that the cat thinks it's hers. Damp cloth seems to fix the problem. Maybe I'm not a purr-fectionist

Jim, as a cat lover I'm deeply touched by your selfishness. I beg you, in the name of your cat, to go and buy her her own Harrison tent, a cheap one from Ebay, not even in good shape, doesn't need to be light tight.
You will have good conscience, a happy cat and my appreciation.

[Jim Andrada]

And maybe I can teach her to load film holders while she's in there.

I'm slightly worried it could be asking too much. On the contrary, she could surely help with dusting them.

boxes and paper sacks I would hope make cheap alternatives for the cat.

Thanks all for the tent upkeep tips.
One other that the makers stress is storage - don't stuff it all up, give it space to relax - they recommend a cardboard box, I prefer a plastic tub with vent holes in it.

And keep it relaxed because over time, the material out-gasses, and the gases can further attack itself, making it sticky, and slowly melt the coatings... (I had some older softboxes, and rain jackets stored up tight, and over time the coatings ate themselves...)

And make sure the tent is bone dry before storage, as they can mildew and smell too ripe when you next use 'em... And if you use them when you are sweaty, the salts of you can leave a residue...

Heat can be an issue with these type of coated fabric's. I ruined a good tent by leaving it in a hot car.
