Hi Logan,

P.S. excellent instructions, cheers.
No, it's been about 7 years since I last bought it, but I had it inside my 10" and then the 12". The last time I bought it was to do the inside of the dob, but I only ended up doing the upper cage -- that was 7 years ago now.

I have bought it at Home Yardage -- but they are now out of business. Try to get in contact with a seamstress or similar -- someone who makes formal attire (wedding gowns etc) and they will probably know the fabric and where you can get it. The last time I bought, it was $80/m and I bought it at a specialist drapery somewhere in the city. The dollar back then was about 55c U.S and it's all but parity now, so it sohouldn't have gone up that much if at all -- no guarantees though!


Best,

Les D
