    Lately when i have received silk span , it seems it is heavier than what i used to get. I am not having great results with it, they used to sell light and heavy but do not anymore. What do you guys use to repair tails and fins ?

    I've been using lens cleaning tissue with good results.

    You can get Silkspan at Walmart or at any store that sells cloth by the yard....it's called "Interfacing" and you can get it in several thicknesses. Good luck. JL
