I wanted to know if our team could use cotton fabric from a local company for our bumpers, idk if they will be likely to rip or be illegal or something so I wanted to know if anyone had experience with that.
R408(D) - be covered with a rugged, smooth cloth with no additional coating applied by the team except for BUMPER markings permitted per R405 (multiple layers of cloth and seams are permitted if needed to accommodate R405 and/or R406, provided the cross section in Figure 8-6 is not significantly altered).
I’d say cotton isn’t great but could work in a pinch if its thick enough. Something like duck canvas (which you can easily find at Joann’s and other craft stores) is better.
