| Fairbanks, AK Posts: 1115 | I'm anxious to try out some of the Tyvek fly patterns in Gonzo's book, so I've kept an eye out for Tyvek for the last few months and haven't found a source. They have it at the hardware store in rolls costing around $60 for enough Tyvek to tie about 100 million flies. I see it all the time on construction sites, but I don't want to poke around there cutting little pieces off somebody's house. Anyone know of a cheap and easy way to find it? | |

If you don't find any, send me a PM and I'll arrange to send you a sheet. A little goes a long way unless you're tying up a storm. | |

| Posts: 1 | Tyvek is made by dupont. You can order free samples of Tyvek. They send you 5-6 large envelope examples which will last you a long time. Search on Google for "Dupont Tyvek" Hope that helps. | |
