mylar seals
Hi, I have just gotten access to mylar drafting medium, 2 different
thicknesses,and I was wondering if it the same stuff we would use for our gap seals? It's about 34-36 in. wide by about 12 ft. long (end of rolls). Thanks, Don

I found rolls of mylar identical to the seals we use were available from a
firm specializing in winding large industrial electric motors - stuff in the several to hundreds of kW. As far as I know the mylar is given its axial curvature using rollers and heat. The quantity of heat, the curvature of the rollers etc is a fairly closely guarded secret! Get any of them wrong and the mylar flattens itself out or curls up. Easier to just buy it from the soaring suppliers! Ian "D.A.L" wrote in message om...
