Persimmon tannin has been used for coating material in Japan. It is good effect for waterproof, protection from insects and antiseptic.
I have been interested in it, but I couldn't patient the smell of it.
As you may know, persimmon tannin has poignant smell.
However, I found it scentless. The coating material will thickly change the collor if it takes a time.
I also tried to soak it. Although it made of paper tape, it was tough.
It's no problem to use after wetting.
Old days, Japanese have been used an umbrella made of paper.
The umbrella was coated it. It is marvelous material.
