I want to try NOMEX/KEVLAR 9OZ. Twill fabric as a patch material. My logic is this. 1. It wont burn. Fire suits are made from it for firemen and race drivers 2. It wont blow a patch(shouldn't anyway), Kevlar is stronger than steel 3. Its very soft, .022" thick, and accepts my mink oil lube as well as linen 4. I just plain want to know if it will work, and I picked up 4 yards of it for $16.....lol.
Now my one concern..........Abrasion on the barrel-rifling. I've looked and looked and can find nothing about abrasion tests. I guess I'm still on the fence about trying it for this reason, but it has me very curious. Cutting it isn't a problem. I have telecom snips from work that cut it easily, and I cut my patches square anyway.
Talk me outa this guys............
