From what I've read the fabric would need to be sanded to knock of the sheen or slickness. I'm not even from Maryland but they have a wicked cool flag and I would like to show up at Delmarva sporting it.

Sadly this is what happens to me. My mind is too busy coming up with off the wall stuff and delaying real progress.

: Sweet idea!!! I think it will work, but I agree with others. Get a
: small version of the flag from the same supplier and try it out
: on some of the same wood you are using. The colors probably
: won't go clear, but might become somewhat transparent. Also I
: have used permanent marker before to touch up a red dyed inlay
: and the permanent marker bled like crazy with the resin, so you
: need to test the colors for bleeding.

: Please post an update because I may just blantantly steal your idea
: for a racing SUP I am building. Probably I will inlay the flag
: but It's a cool thought to do the way you are doing it.
