Poly span

[Donald Main]

Does anyone have the product code or number for poly span? It's a Pellon product and I am trying to find it at the fabric store. A p44 is close but not the same. Thanks for any help.

  I don't have it in front of me, but search on the forums here. it has been discussed before. The JoAnn Fabric store near me does not carry all  of the different Pellon products. Its also a generic term for "foundation" or "underlayment." I did some internet research a few years ago but don't remember what I found.

    That is one thread of several over the years. the term 'interfacing" is one I couldn't remember earlier. The tea bag material being sold here recently is just that, an interfacing material, as it's source was a quilting supply company in England. I was trying to find a source in this country at the time without much success. Interfacing material comes in a myriad weights and weaves. The polyspan is such a material. As a comparison, SIG Koveral is an interfacing material, I believe. It came into being when quarter scale models started to proliferate and people discovered that you could use lightweight polyester dress lining material, or 'interfacing" to cover those models with. It can be ironed on, and heat shrunk and then finished with traditional dope. Some interfacing is so light it is designed to dissolve after the garment is made and all sewn up! It would be nice to really pin a number down.

I just got some of that Pellon P45 at JoAnn Fabrics yesterday.  20" wide and it's one a 48 yard role and like  $1.20 a yard or something.  I just bought a 10 yard length to try out on a couple older planes that need some recoverage. It, and other products , were on sale at a %50 off so it was $6.95 or something for 10 yards.

Haven't tried to use it just yet, but maybe soon if I can get my butt in gear again.

If you browse the finish section you find that the number listed is what I got at my local fabric store.  The price was so low I bought the roll and need to go get more.
