Help finding BLACK Dacron

[bagmaker]

I am a new guy here and not sure where this may go,,, just looking for a little help,,,,,

What I am looking for is a place to get 9oz and 7oz per yard of heavy BLACK dacron.

Hopefully there is a site sponsor where I can get.. Thanks in advance....

Why not do a search for textile manufacturers or distributors instead. There are a lot of suppliers of heavy polyester cloth, beyond the sail industry. BTW, most sailmakers won't use black dacron for sails...heats up way too much in sunlight. Most of the black canvas like materials you see on boats is Sunbrella.

Thanks for your reply,,,,

I understand the sunbrella. I have been using some heavy white 9 oz Dacron sailcloth and it works well but I am in need or some black. I know it is available because I have seen it but just can't find out where to get it,,,,

I have been using all the search engines with not much luck,,,

sailrite has 4oz but I don't see a heavier weight.

What is your application?

Just a wild guess, but I'm guessing they want to make bags out of black sailcloth.

As SF says, it's not generally available as sailcloth above 4oz weight. Here's another source:

Colored Dacron Sailcloth

Only colored sailcloth (true sailcloth) I know in the 9-10 oz range is orange, for storm jibs. Seen tanbark up to 8oz, which is pretty neat.
