I'm looking for polypropylene reinforcing fibre - similar to
http://www.jhlidstone.com/downloads/...P%20Fibres.pdf .
I can't seem to find any local suppliers of this, and the only online ones seem to be at silly prices. (900g/15 quid)

Can anyone point me at a more reasonable source?

Our company uses fibres for screeding and we use a company called Adfil,
they seem quite reasonable on price but I'm not sure about small quantities.
They can be contacted on 01482 863777.
Alternatively, I did see some the other week in our local B&Q near the
cement section - maybe worth a look if you have one nearby.

Franko.

£15 for enough to treat nearly 2000kg doesn't seem so bad...?

Oops - I forgot to calculate out the cement volume.
Still, 15Kg for a kilo of string seems steep.

ISTR paying just over £2 a bundle several yrs ago, but I really cant
remember where.

I wondered if synthetic fibre cloth cut into small squares would
unravel in a food processor. Havent tried it - and it would be very
thin fibres.
