I remember reading a while back some guy saying he used the same scrim all day I get on a good day four houses outta scrim that's bog standard council houses and it depends what typeof day it is, I thought I must be doing something wrong as after a six hour shift I have enough scrims,cloths towels for a full load in the washing machine. But now I think the guy must have been bullshitting

I did find some for sale the other day, but can't remember where. they are expensive, about £9 + vat for a twelve inch. If I find it again I'll let you know. I think I Googled 'Wagtail channel for sale'.

can you not put any channel you want onto a wagtail handle with a little bit of diy?

 

[dasslr1]

I'll have a play around with it see what I can do lol

Yes if it is the whirlwind, but I don't know about the Orbital. with a Whirlwind you just take the screw out and push the channel with a nylon tie together into the handle, add a little washing up liquid as a lubricant.
