Hi everyone,

Does/has anyone else experienced pva mesh shrinking on the tube refill over time?
I have a 32mm tube, but use 37mm mesh. Over time, its shrinks to the tube somehow and becomes extremely stiff/tight to put back in the tube after making a bag.

Cheers

It will more than likely absorbed some moisture ,, does it rip and tear more easily and feels brittle....

For this reason i dont put too much on the tube, as you end up throwing loads away...
