.018 Fabric For Shooting Patches

[RocketMan58]

Sounds like good stuff but you might want to shoot it first. If it don't work out you can sell it to the "My Pillow" guy.

Let us know. It might be a good alternative to #40.

Given the part number ended in 40,(before the dash) I was thinking maybe it was "the 40", IDK.

No stripes in the #40 and the bolt is labeled #40. I have a hard time physically finding it in my local store. Never seems to be in the same place. Usually the ladies working there have no idea so I just have to search it out. Last trip I bought a pretty big chunk so I'm set for a while.

Keep up the good work guys!

Pretty soon you will have the complete list of JoAnn's fabric cataloged by thickness!

I do get some strange looks when I break out the calipers for measurements at the fabric store

The drill was always located with the utility fabrics, which may or may not have included the tickings or canvas or denim for that matter. Drill was always with the utility cloth such as muslin or osnaburg. Now I can't find it anywhere. Good thing I bought a lot some time ago.

Measuring in the store can be misleading due to the use of sizing to enhance the feel of the fabric. Washing in hot water will shrink the fabric slightly and drying will fluff the fabric a bit so the slip reading will be thicker after washing and drying and the compressed measurement will be thinner. You have to feel the fabric, look at the tightness of weave through the fabric in a strong light as you assess the measurement in the store. That's one of the reasons we can get acceptable performance using a wide variation of material thickness and tightness of weave. We have to be more [particular when we look for fabrics that can be used for X ring accuracy.

My Bad for the assumption. . The good news is that I continue to learn something every day here though!
