It's all in a million pieces. Some big some small. Mostly small tho. Polyester fiber same as poly fil? I always thought polyfil was in bigger clumps

Picture? The poly fill I use comes in a big plastic bag the size of a pillow. It looks like this:

Synthetic polyester pillow stuffing is analogous to polyfil.
Polyfil is short for 'polyester filling'
It will work fine. I have used it 1000 times in both monotub holes as plugs and in canning jar lids for gas exchange....
It is actually a little cheaper getting it in the pillow than in the craft polyfil tubes.
Polyfil at the craft store around here goes for 5 bucks a tube.
Cheap pillows go for about 2 bucks.
To used to use them for lids, I used to rip of a wad and pull it through one of two 1/4 inch hole that were drilled in it.
The other hole (each lid had 2 holes total) contained a dab of RTV silocone which I used as an injection port.
Now I use SFD's and a flowhood but we all gotta start somewhere....
