My Dad lives next to one of those in Sacramento. He calls it the Kmart tool store. Maybe I can get him to send me one. Hope it's not a web only deal.

Is the tarp glossy?

I'm sure that it is. It probably isn't the IDEAL thing for your keying, but hey...for $20, I'll give it a try.

A glossy tarp?
A word of warning. You're setting yourself up for ALL kinds of reflection problems. There's a reason chroma key green paint and fabric is always a matte finish. Have fun playing with it though.

Just put it in your sail washing machine and wash it a few times. Takes the gloss off every time.
