I bought the same blanket as Bluemoon off ebay, got tried of taping holes in my old one, hes right about 60 some odd bucks, but I installed mine with the rubber side toward the glass, fab side up and it work fine. They shipped in a few days

We have a big 'ol Millington frame that I need rubber for. I'll post what I come up with when I get to it. I don't want to use neoprene on a unit that size, I think the rubber would generate a better seal over an area like that.
The neoprene works great on our current homebrew unit though. I've had the same blanket on there for 4 years now I think. We use M3s. Got it from materialscraps.com, another Frog suggestion, so in addition to being cheap and effective, it's even upcycled. Can't beat that.
Probably the best idea is tpitman's one of protecting the blanket.

I've made this topic sticky so it stays readily available. It is turning into a good resource on the replacement blankets.
If you have more sources or advice please post it.
thanx,
play nice!

About $35 and you get enough for two exposure units.
Did not try, but I have seen comments from people and it works.

The more space between the vacuum frame's sides and the screen the better with this stuff as it has limited "give". I think that when I once asked for those with experience to chime in, it was suggested that at least 4 or 5 inches of clearance was desirable.
Anyone with experience?
