    Question Smaller pieces of tyvek - where to get them

    I can find large rolls all day long, but I just want so small pieces to tinker with. Where do you get them? Get friendly with a local construction crew, dumpster diving?

    I've got 10 ft pieces from construction crews before. It was leftover scrap... I think Dutch also sells it in small amounts.

    +1 on Shug's recommendation, although I give getting friendly with a local construction crew a close second.

    I've ripped off enough Tyvek from construction crews to last a lifetime. Sometimes they just throw partial rolls in the dumpster.

    For small projects like ditty bags, food bags, sleeves to keep sooty stoves and cookware separate, etc the Post Office has several sizes of tyvek envelopes for free.

    They are free with the intent you are going to use them to ship... Please don't encourage pilfering.

    +1 on not stealing the usps bags. Order something and keep the bag.
