Insul-brite vs Insul-fleece
 
I think I spelled that right. I went looking for the insul-brite to use in making pot holders and could not find it but what I did find was insul-fleece. Are they the same?
I hear people talk about how stiff the insul-brite is but this insul-fleece is sort of flimsy. SO I'm confused as what I really need.

ok I got the answer about both. Both are made from polyester fibers & NOT TO BE USED BY THEMSELVES. go to the websites below and it will explain what it is and how NOT to use it.

Fleece is polyester, which will melt if you put something hot on it, so they are not the same.

Thanks for those links, Seasaw. Now I know why my insul-brite potholders don't provide enough protection. Who knew you were supposed to use another layer of cotton batting with that?

you can use three layers of warm and natural . insul-brite should be used with one layer of warm and natural
