Think I've got some extrem stuff on the bottom of a roll somewhere. Back at work tomorrow so I'll have a look. Be warned though I judge their dxg to be crap which is why it's on the bottom of a roll somewhere. Bought in an emergency but the grid was so far off true in every direction I couldn't use it for product. Coating is also thinner than it should be. If that doesn't bother you I'm sure I can help
When did you buy this fabric? I bought regular price dxg from extex about 2 years ago and it's a very good quality, no errors and very nice coating.
Maybe you have some of the "special price" ones?
No it was full price. I know the special price stuff you are refering too. It wasn't that. Since the tenjin spec dxg went from the market and sellers had their own prepared it's been variable in quality. Its not the first time I've experienced it and I'm sure I heard @craige had some issues with it too. My new supplier provides a perfectly true grid so it can be done.

Not issues as such, just the grid has never been perfectly straight, worse near the selvedge. Both genuine dxg and rbtr stuff. Dutch stuff is better and the coating is much better. The grid is not perfect, but then again, very rarely are any ripstop grids absolutely perfect. It's also easy to pull them out of alignment on most fabrics, due to bias stretch. Even the x on xpac often isn't perfectly spaced.I'm sure I heard @craige had some issues with it too. My new supplier provides a perfectly true grid so it can be done.

Thanks.
Yes, I would be interested. And 'off' grid isn't a problem.
I'm converting the draw string closure on the Golite Jam I bought recently to a dry bag closure. Thought I'd extend the top to gain a bit more volume whilst I was at it.
Using gridstop to make it look less of a 'bodge' but it's not essential - and only me who will ever be bothered .
I've cut half a metre Cathy. Will be in the post on Thursday which is my 1st run. I don't want anything for it but if it helps you out a pogo donation would be good.
Sadly Cathy our slang is all but gone. It hangs on just in some rural areas. We are nearly finished the conversion to full American.Thank you very much.
Yes, I should root around (stop laughing the OZZY's ) and find something to put up.
Hah yeh they normally send tons of sample cards out
