Dear Group,

After reading many posts in many threads about fixing shutter cloth I decided to test using acrylic ink to make my own shutter cloth and repair an old Thornton-Pickard roller-blind shutter. It worked out after some trail and error. In the following link you have an illustrated description of the method I used.

I may be useful to some of you guys using barrel lenses. Case you have anything similar or an ideal on how to improve the end result I would be glad to hear about it.

Best wishes

Great tutorial, Wagner! 'love your work! I'm lazy though.....
I read somewhere that one can still buy suitable shutter cloth new, may be in the UK? Anyone know more about this? [I've got an old dilapidated T.-P. Ruby lying about that could do with a shutter cloth (and a back for that matter); one day I shall get to it (I just found a nice new front-surface mirror on the bay; it just needed cutting to size).]
