Let me know cuz I have quite a bit on a job I can send to you... well, as long as postage isn't too steep anyway.
What Monkey was it that wanted some Tyvek house wrap as a liner for camping?

Thanks n8. Is the roll 10' tall? By how long? I could probably use what ever big chunks you could find. I'd probably make a foot print for my tent and maybe a few other things.

I reckon that I have probably a 10 x 40-50+ ft roll left over...
N8 said:
Holy crap. That's more than I would ever need. Maybe you should post this up in the slip and slide thread?
I'll take 20' off your hands if you think that's reasonable to ship. I think you should be able to fold it up and put it in a small box with out much trouble.

Well, it's either ship it to someone who wants it or have my laborers toss it in the dumpster...
I'll see at lunch how easy it will be to fold up ect..
Actually looks like the roll is closer to 100'+ and is 10' or 12' wide....

Sounds like you should take it to the next job site. (after you tear me off 20 ft.)

HAHA! This roll came off another job (not mine) as scrap... my stucco guy brought it with him.
I actually sat here and thought for a few minutes what I'd use a giant piece of tyvek for, just because tyvek is such cool stuff. But I don't think I have a particularly good use for it

I was thinking it might be good for letting bodies decompose yet limiting the horrible smell.
I know. I saw the thread and started thinking about it again. It's ridiculousN8 said:
I considered that I could make a grill cover out of it, but I have a perfectly good grill cover that's not white and doesn't say "TYVEK" all over it
. It would make a good tarp, but again, tarps aren't exactly expensive and I've got no real reason to have an especially ugly Tyvek tarp.
Wow... I did not know that...
Dude, save it for the next house and save some $

Great way to run a business. What would be the ROI on a small storage unit?
Westy said:
believe me it's not worth it... I saved stuff from 1998-2000 and had more crap that I could handle so now I either sell it off, give it away or trash it.

That could be arranged!
can I score 20' ?? I'm sure I can find a use for something as cool as tyvek.
How much would shipping 20' to South CA be?
I've been in the Spruance plant where they make it. It comes out looking like a bunch of cans of silly string going off at once. Then gets rolled into a sheet. They also make "Pop Tart" wrappers there, silver Mylar along with the firemans friend, Nomex and the policemans friend Kevlar.jdschall said:

PM me addresses if you want the some... I'll send free to the first 5 Monkeys who PM moi (and I already have one so there's 4 left)... after that it's gonna be shipping plus paid to my paypal.

Yeah, saw that it was made in VA. Lots of cool stuff is made from "non-woven" fabrics these days using the process you described. Probably the number one thing most people would be familar with are hospital scrubs.
2 down...
3 down... 2 left.
