Here is a table of several popular patching papers, along with

Thanks for posting this Arnie. Very handy reference!
Also thanks for the sample of SC55Y. I worked with it some today. In spite of the wind I got some pretty good results! Thank you for marking the grain direction!

Arnie,

I will throw in 2 more for you to measure, Alvin 55W and 55Y. Im sure they are close to the normal 55w/y most use but it may be a good back up to those.

I will bring them to Lodi in a couple weeks....
