Oh, wow. I feel stupid now. I knew what it was, but never thought of using one of those for grill cloth! Thanks for enlightening me, Tom!

The stars aligned for me one day about 15 years ago. I was in an art supply store to buy a pad of high quality 11"x17" paper for drawing schematics etc. When I saw the tool, the grill cloth application flashed in my mind and I bought it on the spot. I'm really glad that happened.
