Sandan 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2022 14 hours ago, niveker said: Looks pretty good, Sandan, is that your final answer? As an aside, how is the Kapok to work with? does it dub easily, tightly? @niveker, thanks. That was just my first answer. There will be more. The kapok is interesting stuff. It does dub tightly and easily. But the fibers are really short and it has a tendency to clump rather than make an even noodle. Also, I find that it gets dirty easily. I like to either use a loop or split the thread when I'm using it. It floats great. I'd give it an 8. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
