Firstly, it CANNOT be right that i need 4mm thick polytubing, i mean thats just insane. 1mm maybe, but not 4mm. I cant find PP rolls in anything thicker than 100 micron.
Second, is there anywhere in australia i can buy rolls of polypropylene layflat tubing suitable for straw logs and anything else i want to grow? Is it even suitable for grains if i do up my own filter patches? im looking for anything reasonably priced, not the insane prices quoted by mushroom resellers, i.e the actual cost of one such roll. im after anything of about 30cm width since thats how wide my sealer is and frankly i wouldnt go bigger anyway. By in australia i just mean from anywhere that would mail to australia without charging hundreds for a small roll.
Thanks

what? what are you on about! Polypropylene bag rolls are for making autoclavable bags for stuff like this 
it comes in a roll and is one continuous tube which i need to cut and seal off, just like with rolls of vacuum sealer tubing.

any idea how or where? i spent all day and cant really find anything suitable for under $1000, mostly because i cant really put my finger on the correct search terms to use. on alibaba i get kind of close searching polypropylene tubing but, most of the results are for actual tubing, if i mention bags, i get all woven results, and if i try to mention layflat, its all firehoses and stuff.
Also i cant order off amazon even if i did want to pay their ridiculous shipping

Are you talking about “spawn bags”?

thats all for polyethylene,
Anyway, never mind, i discovered that some backwater imperial hicks were using the term "mils" to reffer to milli-inches. I had the right idea initially about thickness. Unfortunately in australia though there simply is no affordable sources for polyPROPYLENE flat tubing to make my own spawn bags

I think its expensive everywhere because of the amount u get per roll. I saw some thatre 100 but u can make way more than 100 bags. So its still cheap.
