Sewers advice - 2mil vs 1mil

[ks23]

Hi all,

You have all been such a wealth of info.

I have been madly sewing pockets. I had 21 home made but some were my first dodgy ones and my better ones I made from cheap water resistant material which over a number of hours just gets damp - fine for around the house. I had previously used 2mil PUL from Aus sites.

Now I got in some 1mil PUL as well as some 1 sided Fleece which are thinner and it has worked really well - very nice and trim:thumbsup: .
.....But before I get more I was wondering if any of you think 1 MIL doesn't last as long or lasts just as long? It is less rigid but more plasticy. Just wondering??

I am very proud though:smiliedance: . I now have 30 nappies as I work full time and wanted a whole day's worth spare for rainy weather too - with winter coming up - will save the dryer electricity bill. Will chuck the water resistant ones to the spare stash pile.

Thanks in advance

I'd usually go for the 2 mil one but im pretty sure the last lot i got was only 1ml - it works the same to me:yes: I only used it hidden under fleece tho

i've used both, and personally found no difference between 1 and 2 mil pul, i use 1mil pul overnight successfully (8+ hours) with no leaks.

the only difference in puls that i have found is more wicking with print pul if its a cotton print with the pul on the back
