Thanks tankerbuilder, I will get some to try out.
I have not posted any progress on my parachutes because of a small snag. My supply of RTV rubber for making molds has run out and the only supplier I know of, ACE Resins, does seem to be having difficulty filling an order. I will post the results of my molds as soon as I get some. Anybody know of a good supplier of the RTV rubber and Activator, preferably in Canada.
Thanks to everyone for your input, great not be alone in this.
