surface flow net/mesh for infusing

Anyone like to give any tips on the best place to buy surface flow netting for resin infusing?

Airtech is $100 for their 60" x 88' roll of red LPDE netting:

Is there anyplace to get it cheaper and possibly even softer more flexable material? Maybe even something different than a netting like that which Airflow sells? Less expensive is important.

But thanks again for pointing it out, I did not know of it.

Anyone else have a lead on "surface medium" netting/mesh with 1/8" strand spacing like the Airflow stuff, but just a whole lot cheaper. The Airflow stuff is only low denisity polyethelene mesh/netting and should not be near the price that Airflow wants for it. It has to be had much cheaper elsewhere. Anyone!?!

Or if there is another surface medium I can put above the peelply, maybe not a mesh even, that would work and be cheaper.

Send me a private message if you must. Thanks!

I know this thread is very old, but I the question has much relevance to me. Does anyone know of a flow medium that works well on the cheap side. I've tried the shade cloth, window screen, and net like fabric from walmart. I have even combined them not getting the results I'm looking for. The greenflow 75 from Airtech works very good. But as I said, I'm looking for cheap. Thanks for any replies on this old thread.

The cheapest by far I found is shade cloth, 50% shade material I use has similar flow rate and resin consumption as the airtech greenflow but is only one directional.
Try Del Star, dont know what their prices are like but I have some nice looking samples from them.
