    I buy pre-cut squares for cleaning the bores and old cotton teeshirts or the like for general cleaning and wipedowns. Anyone have a good online source for cheap tees or large swaths of cotton cloth?
    Thanks, Dave

    Are you looking for bulk precut material, or just a bunch of cotton cloth?

    If you are looking for bulk cotton cloth, your local fabric store has t-shirt material. You can probably get the remaining partial yards off bolts for cheap. I haven’t bought any that way in a while because I have enough old t-shirts and sheets to last me a few decades.

    Thanks for the options

    Buy/get old flannel sheets. Have your wife who sews cut them with her rotary cutter. Bam!

    I buy them by the 50 pound box for work from McMaster Carr

    Those are all valid options, thanks :thumbsup:

    Hospitals often sell their old surgical towels by the bagful at their thrift stores. I'm still going through mine I bought at FSH 6 years ago for $2/bag of 50 towels
