Oh! Punny you should say that. The Bonded Logic cotton batting is really good, I second that.

A sportscar. There are other TVR fans on this forum.

Mine was a M series (highly modified) Bit older. Tube frame, glass body.

32 years later I still have a scar on my head, from toddling into the racing chassis of a Tuscan my father was 'improving'

You say TVR, and I think of Granturas or Tuscans.

Just got back from the Sannich Agricultural Fair where we got the opportunity to "make" long haired sheep's wool.

Except that none of those tested UltraTouch which has been shown to be better yet.

A 289 version of one of those scared the crap out of me more than once.

Where's the referenced study?

Cotton fiber is pretty large in diameter. Fiber fineness is a key parameter in closed box stuffing performance. I've tried cotton batting sold in craft stores and it wasn't anything special.

As far as wool goes, I've tried Marino wool, pretty much the finest wool and compared it to wool stuffing sold by the speaker builder suppliers and it didn't perfom much better.
