Stabiltex/Tetex Update 

Sefar, based in Switzerland, manufactured the Stabiltex/Tetex that we
have all been using over the years. It has been purchased through
various companies such as PlastOk® in the UK and Test Fabrics in the US,
I am sure there are others but apparently it all originated from the
same source. 

Bad News is Sefar have confirmed that they will no longer be producing
it. 

However, PlastOk® a supplier in the UK, have confirmed that they still
have a limited stock in certain colours and are confident about working
with a new manufacturer to produce it to the same specifications: a
light, fine, plain woven fabric approximately 13g/m² with a thickness of
85μm. 

Good News is they feel they are very close to achieving this - watch
this space we will update!!
