Pete Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Hi all,i have made numerous SIBs and always used paper of some type,my favorite was till roll paper from older shop tills. Now though i cannot find the same quality paper.Anyhow what i have been testing lately is toilet wipes material,unused of course LOL.unfold and lay flat to dry out,handle with care.It has a great fibrous appearance. I have sprayed starch on a sheet and let it dry slowly,it has gained enough strength i think that with care it could be used.Trial 2 will be to dry a sheet,colour with food colouring dry again then starch ? Also as starch needs ironing when used as normal i will try a dyed sheet, may make it too brittle ? Another great use for the toilet wipe is for furling sails.looks great with practice. I daresay that different brands may have a stronger texture.What do you think of the idea ? or am i the last person to try the method ? It does have a fine cotton appearance when dried. Cheers ,Pete.

Onni Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 Must say that I never thought about using toilet wipes for sails. Could be a good idea. Maybe have to try them out sometime (dried). Can't believe I'm repling to a topic about toilet wipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
