just thought of something this isn't really my area but i know some of you residentoal repaint guys sometimes have customers that want to see new clean drops on the inside.well I don't how far big lots goes but they have really cheap drops I mean runners for less then 5 bucks 9x12 for under 12 bucks their really thin and not worth a plug nickle if you spill paint but they look good and their cheap.

next,
Not being rude or anything. But what good are they if they aren't worth a plug nickle if you spill paint? Isn't that the reason for using a dropcloth?:yes: Just incase something happens. All it would take is one OOPS and their goes your profits for the job and more.:eek: Replace a carpet, area rug, some of these are big bucks. Paint in the cracks of a wooden floor, more money. Might as well use the sheet off of your bed.:no: You are better off buying good drops nothing cheap, To make it look good. Better off using a drop with some paint on it, rather than looking good.:yes:
