In Response To: Material: Cheap heat-sealable nylon (Shawn Baker)

I lined up requests yesterday for the first two rolls I anticipated--100 yards of black and 150 yards of yellow.

Between last night and this morning, I can now order another 90 yards of yellow.

And I have a new request for 5 yards of yellow, so I might get a 4th roll. Holy cow, Batman! Anyway, if you're still interested, keep your requests coming. If I can fill more than half of a new roll, I'll get it, too. If that fills, I'll look to a 5th.

I have a call in to Seattle Textile to see what else is available to make sure we can get what we want! "If you build it, they will come". Good to see there'a a lot more cheapskates out there just like me! :)

: I just spoke to Seattle Textile, and they have closeouts of 210 denier heat
: sealable nylon.

: They have a 90-yard x 47" wide roll of yellow fabric at $3.25/yard,

: or

: A 100-yard (or 150 yard) x 47" wide roll of black fabric at $3.50/yard.

: Yellow was the lightest color I could find...I was hoping for white or
: natural for less visibility through light-colored SOF's. Or, black would
: look like black sealskin!

: If I could get commitments on at least 50 yards of it, and if we can
: collectively decide between yellow and black, I'll buy it as a group
: purchase, and sell the rest at SSTIKS or R2K2. You would pay $3.25 or
: 3.50/yard and a portion of the shipping cost. Seattle Fabrics price is
: $12.75/yd for the same stuff.
