Think I've sorted most of 'em - "denatured alcohol" et al - but I've come across a new one that I can't decipher...

Bushing canvas.

Any idea, please?!
 
Would it be something you were searching for in regard to a Mitsubishi 4 x 4 by any chance...?

Nope.
The term was used on a video about veneer pressing, before a "square of material" was shown to the camera.
Obviously canvas (No!) but whether rough/smooth/whatever wasn't detailed.
Just a term I'd never come across before, and unusually a search on t'interweb hasn't helped....
 
I've never herd of the term either. When it was mentioned in the video was it being used to provide a porous layer for the air to evacuate through? Sometimes a bug screen like material is used for the same purpose. Might be easier for you to find.

Just asked Copilot:

bushing canvas is made of canvas but I want to know how it is different from regular canvas

Ah, I see! Bushing canvas is indeed a type of canvas, but it has some distinct characteristics compared to regular canvas.
Bushing Canvas:

  • Material: Typically made from heavy-duty cotton or linen.
  • Weave: The threads in bushing canvas are more tightly woven, making it more durable and resistant to wear and tear.
  • Usage: Often used in applications where sturdiness is required, such as in making sails, tents, and backpacks
 
Just like the 7th cavalry over the hill, kinverkid to the rescue!
Thanks, pal!
So... tightly woven, sturdy canvas, then.

Or, as it's otherwise known to normal folk.... canvas. :)
 
I found lots of search hits for "canvas print"... A print/litho on canvas.
Did you mean to write "bushes", rather than bushing? If so, I'm thinking it might be Bush's ... Bush as a family name. Nevertheless I don't think Bush helps understand what a bushing canvas print would be.

No, nothing to do with printing.
