Hi Folks, I've used a variety of materials for this application. I'm about to put on another set of S&F and wanted to hear what other techs are using. I've been searching the fabric stores to find a good material with no success yet. I'm thinking wool or cotton with some body to it. The strips from S&S are $8 each. Being cheap, I'd like to be able to do 5 actions for $8 and figure I can do that if I find the right fabric. Speaking of finding something cheap. I called around last month to try to find a roll of Mylar. I called a local graphics supply store and they happened to have a "damaged" roll of mylar (core was very slightly flattened) that they would sell to me for $5. The roll is something like 30" by 150 feet, which would normally sell for more than $100. That's a lot of bridge patterns! So if you're looking for some mylar, you might search around for "damaged" rolls. Apparently if the cardboard core is flattened slightly the roll can't be used in machines. Thanks for your thoughts.
