: just looked at their online cataloge and i see olefin polypropylene 18x18 at
: 4 oz .
: it also lists 4oz dynel and 4oz xynole polyester. any comment on how these
: work and especially how transparent they wet out?
: do you know any synthetics that wet out clear?

: -mick

I've used all three. The Dynel and Xynole remain rather white when wet-out. The Polypro wets-out translucent. I use it I like it. It's tough and works well.

All the best,
