[Bradman9]

I've read that polypropylene and cellophane are two different things but on here it seems like people say they are the same.. what are you really using?

This is the film that is sold in the store:

Many that I know of tend to use the Polypropelene wrap.

Is that stuff polypropylene?

And is poly better than cello or do they both give the same effect just are two different materials that can be used?

I don't know exactly what the film in the store is made of. I'm just telling you what some of the experienced builders and saber smiths of this hobby have used that I know of. In the other thread Fenderbender told you what he uses and where to get it - he sells his blades and people generally love them. You could try some of each and report back with YOUR findings.

Ahhh gotchya! Well I definitely will experiment.

The blade film sold in the store is awesome material, you wont be disappointed. Used that stuff for my first blade and the results are very good. On the same saber I actually think its brighter then the poly blade that i bought pre-made
