Will this Neoprene work?

[Mermaid Talisa]

So I found this on ebay, and I am wondering if this will work for a sequin tail?! :)

They don't have a photo of the product. Also based on the name and the fact that their english isn't very good they appear to be outside the US. Also, 11 dollars for a little less than 2 square feet isn't a very good deal. I've bought neoprene from Macro International (http://www.macrointlco.com/), and it was a lot cheaper, thought the price varies on thickness and style.

I hadn't really noticed the size until after I posted this. I figured out it wasn't a very good deal. :) And I also realized it wasn't the US. Thank you very much for answering though!

So what kind of neoprene do I want from that place?

[MerAnthony]

I know neoprene can be expensive. I ordered my neoprene from Foamorder.com. I bought 2 sheets of 2mm smootskin, the sizes of the sheets were 7 foot long by 4 foot wide. An for what I paid I think was a great price. I paid $144.00 with $27.00 shipping from Cal to NY state.

so you got smoothskin? is that Nylon/Nylon?

You should dry Stretchhouse Inc. for neoprene

I believe Stretchhouse sells neoprin, or at least has ripped off people in the past. Use the search bar to see more info on their company.

Yeah, I've heard bad things about stretchhouse and their "neoprene". I would definitely use foamoarder.com. I have had nothing but good experiences with them and for me, one sheet is enough to make a full tail. I'm 5'6" though.

Eva I stand 6 foot tall an the reason I got 2 sheets because I knew that 1 wasn't going to be enough. An stretchhouse doesn't sell neoprene only neoprin. I don't think they know the difference to tell the truth.

@ Gem stone Smoothskin it only has a backing on one side for a better look. Look at the link on what I got. ( picture ) http://www.bonanza.com/listings/2mm-Smooth-Skin-Neoprene-Wetsuit-Jacket-Full-Front-Zipper-Long-Sleeves/64656421

So if I got neoprene that only has the nylon coating only on one side, I can still make it work right? it won't be this terrible decision I'll regret?

[MerAnthony]

Then you are looking into getting smooth skin then Gem Stone? If that is what you want yes you can still make it work. That is what I have. I now have a serger sewing machine I myself should be putting my new tail together soon.
