char cloth question

[IaSpanky]

Ruined a brand new pair of jean at work today( residents who use drain-o should be made into coats) was wondering if I could use the parts that are not falling apart due to acid as char cloth? I had heard that char cloth needs to be cotton and should be white at the start any ideas. The jeans were Dickies brand and should be all natural fibers.

[gryffynklm]

I would say yes. You can test a piece by burning it with a match to be sure there are no synthetics so you don't ruin your char box.

[lucznik]

As long as the material is 100% cotton, it doesn't matter what color it is to begin with. Some of the best char cloth I ever made came from an old brown tarp.

The thing you do want is material that is as thick and as densely/tightly woven as possible. Thin material just disintrigrates when handled.

[mountain1]

yeah it'll be fine. i just make it from old worn out and torn tee shirts. no matter the color it seems to work out alright for me.

Cotton blue jeans are about the best charcloth material there is.

[crashdive123]

As others have said, they'll work fine. Color does not matter for the material as long as it is cotton.

Thanks again guys will let you all know how it turns out first time making char cloth

[kyratshooter]

Do the char in small batches. Many times people decide to do big batches of cloth in a big tin. It never gets completely chared.

Blue jean makes good Muzzle loader patches too.

An easy way to do it is using a vegetable can and a soup can. Put your pieces of cloth in the soup can and invert it into the veggie can. Poke a small hole in the bottom of the soup can (just large enough for gas to escape) and place it in the fire. You'll see a flame erupt out of the hole once it comes up to temp. when the flame goes out it's done.

I still like the cotton gauze pads, but then again I have a LOT of them.

I also used pillow tick patch pieces after I cut a patch for the .50 cal.
After cutting the patch from a strip at the barrel, leaves a strip with hole in it.

Have try jeans, never gave it a thought, have to try some, if I can stand to get rid of my old jeans......
Thanks.

I'm surprised you of all people haven't tried jeans while wearing them.

Well, we aren't gonna get into that, or flannel shirt sleeves.

Thanks for the chuckle. (snort)

i do mine on the b bque'. i wait until it stops smoking. either wat it works.

[skunkkiller]

I use the wifes wedding dress works great

[flandersander]

For a tin, I use a candy tin. The lid fits on tight enough, and it can be knocked around a bit in the fire, without the worry of your cloth being exposed.

[crashdive123]

And I understand that a Coldsteel Bushman is good for cutting up the cloth.
