Well last night's tests weren't that successful, but I think that I have learned a few things.
1. synthetic fibers did not work so well.
2. mesh spacing is very important
3. a very thin skin of ice can keep the wind off.
the test panels that did work a little bit had some things in common, close spacing of the fibres. Water does not soak into these synthetics but it does get caught between fibres and held by its surface tension.
later today when it gets colder I will test out some natural fibers, cheese cloth, reinforced cheese cloth, muslin, and perhaps burlap.
I am watching the barometer (and thermometer ) closely here. If I could stay for an extra day or two I could hit an expected cold snap.
more as it develops
