Sharks tooth types

[DrV]

I need to buy a gauze and I see that there are types 201 and 202 which look similar (and probably others). What is the difference between them?

Thanks

Dave

Which supplier are you looking at? I am not familiar with those designations. Normally, the difference between types of sharkstooth is the size of the holes, but maybe this is something else.

Thanks for getting back. I was doing a general search for sharks tooth gauze. The 201 is from Adam Hall via various suppliers. I think the 202 was from Adam Hall too and the pictures looked the same but now I can't find it! Maybe it was a misprint on a different supplier's site. 201 seems to be very common so I'll probably get that but I'd like to know a bit more about it if possible.

It is a bit odd but they are all on the Adam Hall site, they just take a bit of looking. My advice would be to invest in a phone call to AH and ask for their recommendation for your purposes.

Yes, I'll give them a bell in the morning.

Cheers

I've answered my own question - having looked a little more closely at the specs, it seems the 201 is the most open weave, 202 is medium and 203 is the closest or most opaque.

 

Still don't know whether the effect will work on our small AmDram stage but it's worth a try...

you could try calling someone like Promptside, they are a theatre textile specialist and not a flightcase parts company that has now expanded their range to include gauses amongst other things.

if you tell them what you are trying to acheive they will help you out with the right product.
