hmmmmm maybe I was ripped off... Mine was pretty hard.

Charleston S.C?

Yep


Back on topic... Since someone mentioned chem aprons. You can also get old billboard signs for free. Nylon reinforced vinyl. You can't ask for much tougher material. I used it in an old diaphragm valve I made a while back.
Look in the phone book for advertising companies, give em a call and tell them you want an old sign. I've done it and they loaded up my trailer. I use them now for tarps and pond liners.

i have never thought of that, i think ill give them a call.

next time i go to visit my sister at C of C i think i'll stop by Charleston Rubber and Gasket.
