Yeah, serious investment for a decent sized tarp for sure.

I believe Wynnchester use the same material in their tarps http://www.wynnchester.co.uk/tarps/

The drill certainly is, and the lighter stuff may be too. Have them send you some samples and see what you think.
Fabsil is good. 1-2 ltrs would proof a 3m x 3m tarp ok
