I think Chris Uff used to use the Chinese cloth and soak in in a water + PVA glue solution first???
If it is thin you may need to only apply the glue to the wood to stop it soaking through the cloth.
The Fender stuff is treated and does not fray, for the extra cost of the material it is fine to work with.
I considered painting it, I quite like the idea of a painted amp, I'm fearfull though that once I remove the tolex I will be faced with a rabbit hole and a ton of work on a wonky rough cab. Of course there is the option to repair the tolex on there at present. I might ponder this over a beer this evening, most of my best and poorest decisions have been pondered over a beer.
My last beer pondered amp tolex decision didnt turn out so bad,
Stripped pine cab on Peavey Deuce? And perhaps dodgy repair found? And Beer! - Amps Discussions on theFretBoard
You won't know what the cab is like till you strip it
Its a canvas twill from what I have lerned, they called it 'luggage linen' on the old Fender amps, its not actually tweed.
So, I am thinking my wee Vox might look nice in a natural canvas twill, so I am off to the material shop in the next village tomorrow to see what they have.
