    Cotton Cloth for DT staining

    Hi all,

    Basic question, aside from the cloth sold by Pitbull, what else do you guys use for DT staining? I am thinking somewhere like spotlight would have some appropriate cotton cloth I can get cheap as I have almost run out of the PB stuff I was sent.

    Cheers,

    Paul.

    Slayer I get bags of rags and pick the finest cotton t-shirts work for me. As long as it's pretty good quality and finely woven it should work ok. Otherwise order some more lint free cloth from the PBG store

    I just keep cutting up an old white T shirt as it has had the life washed out of it and therefore less lint or fibres to share in the finishing process. So far it has lasted 6 builds and still half a shirt left over. Best form of recycling I could come up with.
