We are bored so I am thinking about going for a walk up to Spotlite thought maybe I could buy some PUL to make some pads later, does anyone know if they sell it?

Ripstop is the one you guys are refering to - and i found it cr@p

I used a fabric just called 'water resistant' its a polester cotton blend from spotlight, but not all stores stock it and it seems that many of the staff dont have a clue what it is. Its more like a cotton drill than a plastic.

It should be alright for pads, I didn't put PUL in mine and there has been no leaks :thumbsup:

I didn't end up going for my walk today but would still like to get some soon. Is it expensive? :rolleyes: maybe I would be better off to just get some PUL online but I hate waiting for stuff to come in the post & paying P&H:(

They worked fine in mine.... It costs about $6/m - but you may need to querie staff on it, make sure it is the cotton not ripstop - alot dont know the difference. i can send you a swatch if you like, just pm me if your interested.

the tag says "water resistant cotton" its a polyester/cotton blend. Feels like a drill... Colours are like biege and denim and such - very very plain, IF your store has it, prob like mine, it will be hidden somewhere and they prob wont stock much...
