I like the sheets better from Papar Mart if I can get them. They are very thin and the color is the same on both sides. The problem is it's only 18" wide. For me, I make chutes from 8" all the way up to 30+ inchs! So, rolls work better for me in terms of production. If you make a lot of chutes that are 18" and smaller, sheets will work just fine.Originally posted by rocket trike
So Flying do you use the sheets or the roll stuff??

If you need a really big 'chute, you can always buy one of those 'space blankets' that hikers carry for emergencies.
It is a big sheet of silvered mylar from which you could make a four or five foot diam parachute?
