OK, not sure the OP or anyone else reading this would know though.I know
You're suggestion is a much cheaper way to see if you like Rayon though, rather than buying a huge box from the beauty supply store like I did.
Luckily I prefer Rayon to any cotton type I've tried, and I tried a bunch.
You can most definitely go to a local supermarket and buy organic cotton. Boil it. And you'll be set. Sometimes you have to boil it twice sometimes not depends on preference
For someone in a pinch you sure are picky.
Cotton balls - Organic or bleached work just as well they are just more difficult to manage.
By the way - They are actually flushed in Peroxide then thoroughly rinsed which eliminates any residual as peroxide breaks down to hydrogen and oxygen.
Then they are dried and packaged.
* Most organically grown anything is basicly grown without any form of pesticides in already polluted ground. Watered naturally by acid rain. then hand picked by Bob's you uncle and if lucky they washed their hands after hitting the nearest tree for a break.

Now that's some MacGuyver stuff going on there!Gotcha, if you really want to use the tank you could take a regular Bic pen pull the guts out and cut the tube into a drip tip too.
Some of my drip tips are loose in some of my drippers/tanks and so I have been known to take a small piece of paper towl and wrap it around the loose tip--
and poke a big hole thru the paper with a small jewlers screwdriver--and press the tip down into the hole.
I then wet the outside of the extra hang over paper towel with water and it becomes soft and I trim all the exsess away and the tip is now tite works good
even forget sometimes that the paper is even in there.....
