Does this mean you can't use a canvas tarp? Because those are typically cotton duck which is a simple-weave, not a twill. Why is the twill weave so critical anyway?

Sorry for not responding!
The twill weave provides a smoother surface than the simple cotton
or the extreme opposite cannele or ottoman, where you have ribs .
The warps back each other up.

For glue I would try 3M super 77 spray glue. First I would roughen up the plastic because glue has a hard time sticking to smooth plastic. Then I would spray the fabric and plastic lightly with the spray glue. Wait for both surfaces to become tacky then bond both pieces. I have used this glue in a manufacturing setting and it remains strong and flexible.
Good Luck
