Since I have never Blanco any type of webbing, so I thout it was a good idea to take some photographs of the work and for demonstration purposes. There is awell known site called
www.blancoandbull.com anyone can go to and get very good advice how to get a good finnish on there webbing.
I have used baby soap that is mild and unscented, because I could not find soap flakes that were recommended by B and B. When you put in the webbing in to the water it was almost like it was impregnated whit some kind of water repellent, as you can see in the pictures.
When you scrubed the webbing whit the soap the fabric started to absorbe the water. The pre wash of the webbing is so the blanco will be betterabsorbed by the fabric.
NEXT TIME IT WILL BE HOW TO APPLY BLANCO.
