patching where do you get yours from
« on: January 22, 2025, 04:07:08 AM »
Ok Joan fabric is in it's 2nd bankrupt filing this year, it's the place I buy my patching, with that said I bought several yrds of my denim ( now called bull denim, seems thinner than the 10oz) and a full bolt of #40 drill cloth( near impossible to find around hear)

So if Joan goes out of business where do you find patching

10 oz Army Duck, best stuff I have ever used, other than Teflon. If you have trouble finding it, pm me and I will send you the link.

Minute Man Patching sold by Ron Hite. I think that it must be a type of canvas. I use it in .015 but he has it in different thickness. He can be reached at 330-262-5482 in the evenings. Super nice guy and the best patching I have ever used. IMHO, it's worth every penny.

This is what I use,  when going from .020 Teflon to this (.020) I had to go from .535 ball down to .530. They have allot of other fabrics.

Not all are affected. I use both red striped and blue striped ticking from them. The red striped is .012-.015, the blue is .015-.018. I buy a half bolt of each. Keep them in a light proof rubber tub. The red striped is 8 years old and as good as when I bought it. It's all in how you store it.

Yard goods stores or sewing stores where they sell bolts of cloth for clothing, etc, makers.
Take your mic or calipers with you.
I find 10 ounce denim works in just about every gun I have, with either a .005" to .008" under bore sized ball.
100% cotton, of course.
