Airplane cloth

I am sending this message as the conservation consultant for
Testfabrics.

Over the past few years, I have told a number of people that
Testfabrics carries airplane cloth--a very fine, strong evenweave
fabric of a type once used as the skin on airplanes (or so I have
been told).  Some of you have reported back to me that a call to
Testfabrics about this was not successful.

In an effort to restore my reputation, I'd like you all to know that
a recent inventory of the warehouse *did* turn up the airplane cloth
I knew was there.  I have a sample of the cotton, which is heavier
than pima but not so heavy as duck,  88x88, 60" wide, in the "print
prepared" state, $20/yard.

Contact Testfabrics for more information (908-469-6446 fax
908-469-1147) or e-mail me (sarahl [at] Panix__Com).
