What I remember of cotton waste was prominently white with different coloured strands, and you had to pull it apart we used it to pack tractor air filters.

I have a tin which contains graphite impregnated cotton wasn’t, The instructions on the tin say it is for gland packing eg valves and taps. I use it on the water glass taps on my engine.

A reasonably good source of old rags is 'freecycle'. It's a website where people offer or want items. I've often put a call out for any old towels / bed linen / quilts / curtains. I must have four bin bags of cleaning rags in the garage attic at the moment.

Well worth the wait! Bale of cotton waste has arrived. 25kg last me out hopefully !!

We used to get that at work (over 30 years ago) and it got stopped because we used to find sewing needles in it occasionally. :eek:
