hi-ive not seen this blue scrim but i will definitely have a gander next time i go in that shop. do you use it wet or dry? my new helper/assistant is going through scrim like theres no tomorrow ,can you believe he used 15 in 1 day ,everyone was filthy too. however the glass is sparkling which is the main thing.

the big cloth/scrim that was hanging on that washing line was a tad thicker than the Unger scrim that i use ,it really looked great quality but of course i didnt try it out . im now wishing i had looked at it closer in case it had a label on it . it was either a bedspread or perhaps a floormat or even a tablecloth and i would think it will now be back inside her house today

I ordered some profesional sheets last month 24 ft x 12 ft.
one never got used on the job so gave it to a freind who cut it to 3 x 3 and seamed them all.
washed them and they have turned out to be just as good as the unger
