VinsonMassif Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yup yup. Any fabric stores stock poly-batting by the metre. Usually 150cm wide. Also they sell it in bags by weight and you just pull bunches off to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktttk Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Sweet, thanks guys. A trip to spotlight it is then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I was told you had to be careful of the stuff with fire retardant and mould inhibitors in it. Since I assume all of it has these now days I gather nobody has had problems using it? I too use the same stuff but mine is old and was produced before fire retardants and stuff became mandatory. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim r Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Why not try your local paint sprayer the filter wool they use is excellent and works out a lot cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of it has mould or fire retardant in it, The stuff I use is made as quilt batting and I have been using it for years with out a problem. It has not got any mould or fire retardants in it as they change the texture and quilts are really fussy :roll: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazara Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Would Dacron be suitable? Shewho has a bit left over from cushons etc, I was thinking of shoving it in my cannister to replace the 8 year old munted bit of wool that's still in there.

As long as its not treated with any anti bacterial or any fungal chemicals it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazara Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Thanks kiwip, is there any really quick & easy way to test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 It normally written on the bag that It comes in but if you have lost the original bag then I wouldn't risk it. Most Dacron that is marketed for stuffing pillows has a mold inhibitor added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 What about fire retardant? I thought it was compulsory in dacron and fillers now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I used Dacron from spotlight and nothing died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
