Hi,

I'm looking for some really clear vinyl to use as windows.
Clear shower curtains seem like they might be the most
economical source of clear vinyl, but so far I've only
tried one that I got from WalMart, and it wasn't really
very clear. Does anyone know of a shower curtain
manufacturer that makes truly clear curtains, or any
other economical source of clear vinyl?

Thanks,
David

windows for what?
Joann's Fabrics has clear vinyl in several different mils,
60" wide in the home dec section. any of those will, at least
initially, be clearer than shower curtains.
i've used it (in 6 mil) for making cold frame covers for my
raised garden beds.

And if you want it thicker than what Joann's sells, then Tap Plastics is
the place to go.

The Joann's fabric store in our area has clear vinyl, usually. Also a good
upholstery material shop would have the heavy grade. Tent and awning people
have it and I'm sure some RV dealer would know where an outlet is. Rollie
