That's sweet bap, I bet it works good. Interested to hear how it goes. I Would like to get some of this hemp fabric sometime. I considered doing this with the viva towels I've been using for diaper wraps on my verticals. The benefit of using the material would be uniformity.
Do you have to wash the fabric like the fiber?

soak in oxyclean, preferrably overnight - follow with a few boil and rinse cycles - carefully scoop out of the water and air dry. if oven or microwave is used for drying some of the fluff will get lost and you have to comb out the matted fiber
Need to do the oxyclean thing to it. I sure do like the simplicity of just rolling a piece of fabric that could be measured for repeatability.
I did too...but I used too much and the foam overflowed the stainless pot I soaked the hemp in
This is the procedure I used as well. Since I was a little paranoid about the Oxyclean, I rinsed the hemp before boiling many times....soak in oxyclean, preferrably overnight - follow with a few boil and rinse cycles - carefully scoop out of the water and air dry. if oven or microwave is used for drying some of the fluff will get lost and you have to comb out the matted fiber
That's what is so nice about thread for the traditional TGT setup. I just setup one of my TGT's with a 29g 9 wrap around a 16g needle (~1.6mm) and took 1 strand out of the 12 strand thread and it's working perfect.
I put the 1.2mm air tube back in and I think I either need to adjust the coil height or go back to the 1.5mm air tube.
At the inlaws eating the best homemade Phó now, but I should have some 'fluff' in the mail when I get home to try a spheroid setup in a TGT.
USPS lied and my fluff didn't show up today
But I did manage to fix an annoying problem on one of my FT TGT's. On one of my FT TGT's the chamber sleeve was just a hair loose, so it would spin while tightening the tank on, it was driving me crazy. Half the time it would turn far enough to pull the wicks out. My other FT TGT is just fine.
I tried floss under the o-ring and it was either to tight or the same. So I took a pair pliers that I have heat shrink over the jaws and gave it a very slight squeeze. You can't even tell by looking at it that anything changed, but now it's snug and no turning while tightening down the tank. Very happy now

I had the maid wash the cloth twice in the washer and then in the dryer. Oh she also ironed it for me...
I like the heat shrink on the pliers idea. I do believe I will borrow that one.
maybe you could send the maid to pick up your mail?
Got an early call yesterday to fill in a golf foursome and after 18 holes and a good stint at the 19th hole, it was to late to go. Tomorrow for sure. The good news the Taifuns are here.

promises, promises, promises ........................
Lets see, if Tibs, co-ops the hemp fabric, 36x57", 28 people could get 2"x36".
it's a possibility especially since there seem to be quite a few people who missed out on the fiber ............. and fabric is much more forgiving than foam 
Thanks for the responses friends, I found the 'uber' process earlier in the thread and I've been at it since yesterday. Just realized I don't have baking soda lol. My post oxy clean and boil clump is sitting in peroxide now looking quite sad. Off to the store…that's right BJ, the grocery store! Good thing the wife is at work...
lol, cyrus! it's either oxyclean or hp/bs
not necessary to do both!scooping the hemp carefully out of the last boiling/rinse cycle and letting it air dry preserves most of the fluff
Its overkill I know Tibs, but when it comes to my wicks I like 'em clean. I'll take my women and martinis dirty though ...
