Also ... 1.1 ounce is the weight of silnylon *before* treatment with silicone. After treatment with silicone, it weighs 1.3 ounces.

That is true of any silnylon which starts out as 1.1 ounces.

Thank you to everybody for your input!


Most places post the weight before treatment. There's no indication that 1.3 is pre/post treatment.

I would order from Quest or OWF because I have done so before and trust their quality. I do not know random ebayers. And seconds from either will run about the same for the material in cost.

I wonder sometimes if the endless sniping and griping about sil misting through has to do with low quality sil. But I haven't had a problem with the stuff I've gotten from OWF.
