Local source of silnylon
Posted: Sun 25 Apr, 2010 10:35 pmDoes anyone know of a supplier of silnylon here in Australia? I can find a few sources in the US but would prefer to source it here. I'm in Melbourne, but mail order is fine with me.

Posted: Tue 04 May, 2010 1:10 pmI'd actually tried myself and came up blank. Where in the US have you found it? I actually want to make a car cover out of it so will need some serious square footage!

Quest outfitters: http://www.questoutdoors.com
Outdoor WIlderness Fabrics: http://www.owfinc.com
Both offer discounts for seconds, and sell a wide variety of lightweight materials.
Good luck with it.

Posted: Thu 06 May, 2010 10:19 amThere was a place in Country Victoria (Ballarat ?) that used to advertise in Wild. I don't have the old editions anymore but if someone has them they may be able to look that up. (classified :gear or repairs)

Bainbridge, they are sail-makers. Their Sydney phone no is 0299381788
AirX-620N is what I have used.

Posted: Sat 01 Jun, 2013 4:14 pmHere it is. Never used them, and can't see what they have online, but I am sure they will have some good stuff. Contact them and let us know what they have. I am over seas right now, hence why I haven't contacted them yet. Cheers.

I would be worried about it trapping condensation. I had a 1443R Tyvek car cover but my father took it to the tip accidentally!
