Re: Filter the glop?

The four layers of pantyhose sounds like a good idea. But my wife
quit using those a few years back and I am about to run out so I may

I just made a tissue batch last evening and used one layer pantyhose
but on drying the tissue seems to have some pigment particles larger
than what I would like.
