In Response To: Material: 6 oz vs 4 oz cloth? (Pamela Watson)

Why not try Raka's 5 oz close weave cloth that folks on the forum have been talking about? Raka claims it is stronger than the 6 oz, and clears out beautifully. Someone within the last couple of weeks posted a positive experience using it. You'd have about the same weight as combining the 6oz/4oz, without the guesswork as to whether the deck will be as strong as you want.
