<p>Well here's my follow-up report to my purchase. The ordering went smoothly, and a few days after paying a hefty 50lb. box was waiting for me at the doorstep. However, I just got around to using it in the past couple of days.</p><p>It works just like the WS plaster cloth--you wet it, then rub the plaster even to fill all the holes. There are two differences I noticed: As the seller notes in the auction descriptions, these are remnant packs--I wonder if that means, in practical terms, that these are plaster cloth for whatever reason did not pass the quality check process for appearance. The only thing "wrong" with them that I can see is that towards one edge, about 1/2" of the cloth has frayed and is not covered with plaster (see picture below). The second difference, and this is a big difference, is that these seem to be much more heavily "plastered" than the WS stuff (see below).</p><p>There are supposed to be rolls of various width; I've only dug one out of the 50lb. box and this is what it looks like.</p><p>(Woodland Scenics on the left, eBay purchase on the right) </p><p>[img]http://ptvavm.com/hold/2007-08-04_DR_23706_plaster-cloth-comparison.jpg[/img] </p><p>... and a close-up of the two cloths:</p><p>[img]http://ptvavm.com/hold/2007-08-04_DR_23707_plaster-cloth-comparison.jpg[/img] </p><p> </p><p> </p>
