I was casting around, looking for material to press into service as cheap welding curtains, when inspiration struck.
I noticed some of the commercial welding screens were fibreglass curtains, but the penny didn't drop quite then, but it did later - FIBREGLASS CURTAINS!
Items that were hated by a generation of small boys when they rubbed against them, or their Ma washed them in the machine, followed by the family's smalls.
Anyway, they totally fell out of use and fashion, and can now be picked up dirt cheap. Fireproof, rot-proof, taste-proof, and easily hung for my purposes.
15metres of 48" fibreglass fabric in a not-so-tasteful Autumn brown leafy pattern for £15 - can't beat that.
Plus, it will cheer up the workshop no end
