Well, instead of buying nylon meshes from companies for use in
hybridisation bottles/oven - i went to the local art-shop.

I took a sample of the nylon mesh with me and they soon found a polyester
mesh very similar to the nylon one - artsy people use this mesh for making
silk-screens.

Maybe try an art shop. For a very large roll of it - only cost 30$.
Equivalent price would be >$300 from a biotech company!!!!
