Poly Fill

Gowa

I'm trying to locate a decent polyfill.
I purchased some a few years ago but found that it was in small bunches in the bag. This was hard to control in the cab.

Natur-Fil Bamboo/poly 50/50 blend. I love this stuff!

If not that, then look for the 'Premium' Poly-Fil, or the "flowery-named" Premium one (M_____, mind slip). The regular poly-Fil is more for aperiodic air flow, and not as dense.

You need to pull apart the small bunches into puffy piles. I like to contain my stuffing in polyester or wool batting pouches. you can see an example in my center channel posting

John, that is very neatly contained!

Go to Walmart and buy the biggest cheapest pillows you can find. I got jumbo size for CAD$5 and the stuffing was decent.

Apparently there are 2 forms of 'Premium' then. That is the consistency I do not care for unless using in completely-stuffed vented boxes or for aperiodic purposes. Look for a whiter-color in Poly-Fil brand. Avoid the Ultra-loft and siliconized coated stuff.

I have used the Crafter's Choice Poly-Fil and liked it, and it's more similar to Acousti-Stuf as there are crimpings in it. I'm certain there is a whiter Premium Poly-fil that is not the 'original' stuff. If you want to avoid the possible inferior Poly-Fil brand stuff, just get the Morning Glory brand. Just don't get the 'Cluster Stuff'.
