I need to get some square feet of tyvek for another draft of a messenger bag. It blocks liquid water, but allows vapor water to pass. This should be good for a bag laying across my sweaty back.
From the craft websites, it’s clear the best way to get nice chunks of Tyvek is from the ends of the 10ft rolls used by contractors to wrap houses. Alas, houses are made with poured concrete in Singapore, not wood, so no one has Tyvek here.
Can someone, perhaps Construction Engineer Aunty She-She, get me some tyvek?
Along that line, another thing I am looking for is vintage/old/used/recycled paper that is distinctive. Preferably with lots of lines/ledgers/or colors. Old record books, things like that. I need some distinctive papers to bind up with my old LP covers into some dandy notebooks. Anyone that sends me tyvek or recycled papers will get a notebook in return. Sadly, the recycling centre scene in Singapore is pretty bad, too.

What size does the paper need to be? How heavy? I am not sure what you are talking about, but would be happy to scrounge some for you if I knew what it was.

apparently I can buy the tyvek for you by the yard.
Lots of insulators wear tyvek jump suits over their normal clothes.
oh paper size doesn’t matter. Anything will do. Just looking for distinctive paper with rules or ledgers or odd layout/design. Size/count doesn’t matter.
show us an example of the paper
