Another Grill Cloth Question
#16

Aaron, I think you are totally missing the pricing. Your are correct, most fabrics come in various widths from a mill. If you read the post, they are quoting a price of $29 a yard for a 6" width if I read the post properly. It would be helpful to understand what the most efficient width would be. Certainly not 6" unless all you want to do are small radios and not consoles. The price is great if you figure you could perhaps 4 small radios out of a yard. Doesn't help consoles much with that width.
It would be nice if one of the "big" stores would jump in with orders they have had in the past for reference, buy in the widths they bought in and the number of yards they could sell. It would make it easier on the supplier to get large orders and easier on us (OK, more expensive) to buy from them and have them cut to various sizes.
Just my humble and naive opinion.
