Marine Grade Coating.....

A little help here please! I have a client that builds custom boat seats. He supplied me with a sample of the material he uses to test on. I have managed to print on the material using an HP L26500 and the prints look MUCH better than I thought. What I want to do now is add a protective coating to it. I called my supplier that I purchase my canvas coating from and they are at a loss. Are any of y'all doing this type of work, and if so, what are you using?

I'm still testing the material by running my curing temp up a little at a time to see if that helps, but so far, no luck.

Thank you,
Jason L. Hamilton
