Why weren't we told this years ago?

Thanks to Sam for the tip.

Simply wash your Tyvek in the washing machine
I did it on a 30 degree wash
It makes it so much easier to fold or roll up rather than fighting it to pack it down small.
It makes it feel more like a material than wall paper.

Try it and thank me (and Sam) later

If you knew, why didn't you tell us?

So why didn't you shout about it back then?
And if you did why didn't you tell me?

Yeah, I think Stu mentioned that washing thing a while back. I certainly knew about it and likely read it off here.

That's the trouble with the internet John - it affords us all an open platform to speak when we ought to be listening and anything that does get through, is so often lost amongst the infinite sea of cat videos. :wink:

Yes even I know that - but it took a few years.
