Be grateful you weren't using Microfibre.
It's 10 times worse for getting damp.

Come to think of it, it was useless on the first window, before it even got damp.
They just don't work in damp weather.

I'm back to scrims for the winter.

best way stand on a corner of the scrim and just twist and twist

Rog, if you used the full sized Micro's you wouldn't have a problem, those tiny ones are next to useless, they are wet after a single window.

And the large ones fold down better than a scrim of the same size too, so they are not bulky to hold in your hand.

Ian, to quote you on something else...

"You just don't get it do you?"

Micros are rubbish on the first wipe in cold damp weather.
Doesn't matter if it's 4 square inches or 10 square feet.

It just doesn't dry like scrim.
I'm not the first around here to say that.
Much better in the summer though.

Scrim's pretty much the same all round.
8/10 in the summer, 8/10 in the winter.
Microfibre, 10/10 summer, 3/10 winter.

[Ian_Giles]

gotta agree to disagree with you there rog, I still do lots outside trad, and micro tramples all over scrim in almost all areas.
It isn't as good as scrim when it gets wet, but with the large ones they just don't get wet as fast as the small ones.
You may use a couple more of them in a day than you would using scrim, but Rog, if you haven't used the large ones you can't comment on the comparison.

I've used both sizes, and it makes a big difference..huge!

Don't know why I bother...

[Ian_Giles]

I have read what you said Rog, and I still disagree.

Micro absorbes faster than scrim, regardless of the weather, meet me in town and prove otherwise.
I'll happily come back on here and hold up my hands if you are correct, I've no axe to grind here.

Maybe its the way you wash yours?

Happiness is a properly dry scrim, not one that has just been rung out!

Still I don't really need to worry anymore apart from my inside jobs as I now use the wand of power.
