Onion skin
 

It's getting pretty hard to find if you want 25%cotton and when you do find some the price is pretty high . I found some really old (35 years) reams for sale on eBay . It's 25 bucks a ream . (500 sheets) that may seem high but not when you consider it is selling at blackpowder supply places for about 15 bucks for a 100 sheets . Sometimes more . Many places like Buffalo Arms only have onion skin that is all wood content anymore. Needless to say I should have a lifetime supply :happy0157::D

Well at least your not going to run out. And maybe you can sell off a few sheet here and there to recoup your investment.

I shouldn't run out . I got 4 reams :D shucks I might have enough to write a few love letters to the wife, ain't done that in 20 years. :D

Better get one of them calligraphy pens :D

So how many patches does one sheet of paper make? Curious...

4 reams of 8.5x11 sheets?

This place has 16lb 100% cotton in a variety of sizes including rolls.

I did not look for anything below 100%

Really depends on the bullet you are patching and how you cut them. but for me it's about 20 per sheet .

I have been told the wood onion skin works well. I have about a dozen sheet to lay with this spring. I have right at 1000 sheets of the 25% but would buy more if it landed on my lap. I got lucky a while back and found three tablets of 25% cotton onion skin "air mail" tablets. They were .25 cents each. Ron

Ever try cheap toilet paper? Some of that stuff is pretty tough. ;)
