I am trying to make a bellows for my 5x7, and am looking for recommendations on covering materials/liners from those who have actually built bellows before. I have made a first attempt using some light vinyl material obtained from a local fabric house, and lined it with a thin, black cotton. Aside from the fact that the folds are not precisely uniform, it does not look too bad. But the corner folds are not as crisp as I think they should be. I think that this is due to the thickness of the fabric.
Does anyone know of a source for the "bellows cloth" that Romney refers to in his texts? He claims that the liner material is black on one side, and white on the other. Also that the white side is coated with a sticky adhesive to facilitate the application of support ribs.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
