Probably old news to some, but it has me wondering about the spinn tarp i just orderd from oes. i'm NOT questioning his product, nor his material knowledge. It was just a surprise to read this. Spinn seems to somewhat still have a bit of "unknown" about it, as opposed to tried and true sil.

any ideas, thoughts, knowledge ...............
