It sure is. A guy I bought some equipment from awhile ago threw them in on the deal, he said he paid $100 for them.

Can you tell me anything about them?

Anyways I started stretching and I have the majority done;

Now how am I sposed to get those wrinkles out?
If I stretch them down then it just creates a bunch either side of the stretch.

Thanks for your advice guys, I tried Dukk's suggestion of stretching opposite sides and it worked well.
I'll post some pictures soon.

You can also use speaker grill cloth, it stretches waaaaaaay easier. It needs to have a layer of glass applied to the backside to stiffen it up once the initial coat of resin is applied and hardened.
