RE: Silk Covering Techniques
I've looked at the Esaki and silk from Dharma.
I can't weigh them to check difference,scale won't read that small a difference.
The silk from Dharma has more threads per inch and is more closely woven.
I think because the threads are more numerous, it's stronger.
I also believe the weave fills faster on the silk from Dharma, due to the closeness of the threads.
Only a guess though.
