Reply to comment by HavartiBob in Reynolds 3000ft plastic wrap box that’s been in my house since 1996. Finally used the last of it today by WannaHearALimerick
I used to work in an extrusion plant and make this. One role would be 20km+ long and take a couple of people to get it on and off the pallet truck to weight it!

How do they extrude it so thin ?

Thickness was generally inversely proportional to speed; if you wanted something thick enough to make body bags it ran really slow; if you want super thin like this you have the output low and the speed high. From what I can remember anyway, was 20+ years ago!

So THAT’s how you weigh 20 kilometres!
