Other: Cheese Cloth for FCG

natascha · #1 (**permalink**) 07-15-2008, 06:48 AM

I am shopping for Cheese Cloth now and have found different sizes.

2 square yards & 1.5 square yards (in bags) or a bolt of fabric 10 - 20 yards.

I found a O.K. price for a couple of 1.5 square yard bags. Will that work or should I go larger?

Thanks

if it is an average sized FCG, the 2 yards might not cover it, and you might have to sew or glue a few pieces together. If you are okay with that, use it. Or, you could get the bigger piece and use the extra cheesecloth on other projects and to decorate the front of your house by hanging it from windows, etc. and ripping it up. P.S. the cheesecloth I got was not UV reactive (weird, but i dont know why) , so I had to wash it with RIT whitener.

Also, note the "weight" of the cloth. This will determine the size of the mesh. I have seen FCG's that lost a lot of their "ghostly" look because the mesh was too tight and it kind of looked like they were using bed sheets.

Thanks for the info guys! I never thought about the 'Weight'.
