[SML] poly Muslin

[Richard John Archer]

I got one answer to this yesterday at 3:10 pm  ( thanks Jim Dougherty)  …but…the original message didn’t appear in my e mail until 9:22 this morning?   How many tims do you suppose this message circled around the globe before coming home to “roost”?    Got to love mail?    Maybe Cornell thought it was Spam…..a dubious sender if ever there was one.

We Will try a large sample on a stretched frame but smaller tryout looked like the creases would stay.  Will also try stretch and then a hot  water spray.  I don’t want to wash, I think that would add more wrinkles.
