Hello,
I've been told by textile consultants and conservators that JoAnne's (yes,
the craft store)regular old polyfill (like for pillows, etc.) is just fine
to use. I use it to stuff mannequins and pad out clothing -

Subject: Polyester Fiberfill Source?


Hello, all you wonderful ones -

Can anyone quickly lay hands on a source for archivally acceptable
polyester fiberfill, a la University Products but without the amazing price
tag? And while I have your attention, how about a source for so-called
archival glue sticks, which the aforementioned company also supplies at an
amazingly high price? We are in the Southeastern United States, but
anywhere in the US would do.
Many thanks in advance,
Anne
