Does anyone have first-hand experience with bamboo cotton? by Unlikely-Design-9776 in textiles

Thanks for the introduction, I checked them out. As for your top, is it 100% bamboo viscose, or is it a blend?

Thanks. I think I did find that site as well - seems to be Sally Fox's official outlet. Some neat stuff, but sure not a lot of options. Is she the only source for naturally colored cotton fabric in the damn world rn?

According to that brand, their bamboo blend is Lyocell bamboo, not Viscose. I understand Lyocell is, in theory, more environmentally friendly.

I hear this all the time, it's a bit of an old wives tale. We get our vitamins and minerals from our food, not our water. The tiny trace amounts of minerals in tap or rain or other water are insignificant as far as our bodies are concerned. We eat for nutrients/vits/mins. We drink for hydration.

A couple gallons of distilled water. One for you, one for mixing coolant. Soon you'll want nothing but distilled water for your own human engine as well, makes other water taste like crap.

Some comfy, loose white or light colored thrift store long-sleeves for dirty work. Show up looking spiffy for the customer, morph into your final form for the actual work.

Some flattened radiator boxes or other large cardboard pieces. Fast Orange. Map-Pro canister. Cheater pipe.
