mandyregal Report post Posted May 30, 2011 I'm wondering what all you professionals use as the ID window material. What is it called and where can I get some? Thanks in advance, Mandy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

builderofstuff Report post Posted May 31, 2011 I use vinyl which came from Jo-Anne's. My fiance got it for one of her craft projects and we had a ton of it laying around. Unfortunately I don't know what the thickness is or if it's even available in different thicknesses, but that's what I use for the ID window on my wallets. It works great, holds up really well, and it's readily available. Hope that helps. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WyomingSlick Report post Posted May 31, 2011 I have never went out and bought material for ID windows as such. Many times the pacaging that other items come in can be used for that purpose. For instance, a flashlight from Wally World that came in a clear plactic package, yielded up enough material for half a dozen ID windows. Must be the Scotsman blood in me from my Grandma Byars.

Skald Report post Posted August 16, 2011 I have a problem finding not the clear acetate or other kinds of "see-throgh" plastic, instead I am looking for the mesh sort of wallet ID window material, the "net" sort of material. it's usually quite stiff, a little like some sort of mosquito net for windows, but still not quite the same. Anyone seen anything like it, and know where to get it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure if this is what you looking for or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skald Report post Posted August 16, 2011 You might take a look at Lowe's or Home Depot. Take a look at the their sunscreen material. I am not sure if this is what you looking for or not. That sounds like some sort of hardware stores? There ain't none of these around here, those particular stores I mean. But I'll look around at the ones we got here, there ought to be mosquito nets "on-the-roll" for purchase here as these parts of the land are infamous for all the mosquitoes. I am not all 100% sure those nets will do, but they do look much the same from what I remember. Strange that none of the leathercraft stores sells these nets, they are probably more usual than the acetate sort of windows these days. I like the nets a little better, because I am used to these clear windows getting miscoloured (yellowish, or some color rub-off from something) or scratched/fuzzy sooner or later.

quinatt Report post Posted November 30, 2012 I ordered some of the acetate from Springfield leather and it is ridiculously thin. I can't make a quality wallet with this stuff. I'm gonna have to find something else Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustKate Report post Posted November 30, 2012 You can get vinyl sheet in different thicknesses from just about any store that sells fabrics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quinatt Report post Posted November 30, 2012 Hey thanks, ya I was thinking of checking out joannes tomorrow. I have several wallets tonight that I have looked at and they all have nice thick material for the id windows. the stuff I have is thin creases and wrinkles really easy. Maybe vinyl is the way to go? Or thicker acetate might work too if I found some. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
