    70D Ripstop Nylon for SilNylon

    I have approx. 70yds of 70D 1.9oz Ripstop Nylon in Foliage Green. I would like to trade someone some silnylon or something comparable. I am looking for around 10-15 yds of the fabric and would be willing to trade more 70D for less sil.

    Anybody interested?

    Not sure how heavy 70D fabric is (compared to sil) but you might google or search for "DIY Silnylon". I think several folks had good luck making their own sil at home.

    Oh duh, I see you said 1.9oz. That'd be pretty heavy with a sil coating.

    A lot of people use 70D vs. something like 30D because it is usually a lot more cost effective. It'll always work out better for quality and weight to just purchase a factory made Sil. Unless someone has an amazing new way to do diy sil.
