Deerepower Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 can you stretch it so you get smaller holes? the sheet I use is from a model shop and costs ?2.49 a sheet but you can stretch it for smaller holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 you can but really need to pull it all over at the same time, as its very fine wire, it tends to distort other wise i have found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are really struggling and have a few pennies try a cooking shop and see if they have any mesh covers to go over wok's and frying pans. I bought one a while ago when I was in sainsbury's.

Kiwi6920 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Ok this will sound poofy but, go to a bulk fabric store, and you know the mesh fabric that is used on totos and that sort of thing, use that, i use it for silage covers on trailers, it has diffrent gap sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 If anyone wants any of the Halfords Isopon type mesh come and see me at Spalding as I have found somewhere local that does it at a lower price than Halfords charge for it so will have some with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Well while this has been re started I will add my bit. If you are really struggling and have a few pennies try a cooking shop and see if they have any mesh covers to go over wok's and frying pans. I bought one a while ago when I was in sainsbury's.
