    Tufnol and Garolite are the same thing SRBF for synthetic resin bonded fabric from McMaster- Carr.

    The grade used by Taulman is Garolite LE grade but a cheaper grade will do cheap sheets are about $5-6 us dollars for a 12 inch by 12 inch sheet. You really don't want to stick it down to a plate clamp it to the Ender glass plate with document clips. 40 dollars for a stick back sheet of SRPF sounds like a rip off.

    I print both Taulman Bridge and spectrum PA6 LW at 250 or 260C bedplate 50 or 60 C.

    The upper limit for nozzle temperature is normally set either by having a PTFE lining at 240 260- which you don't have or by the upper limit of the thermistor NTC thermistors don't go beyond 285 or possibly 290 C unless you change to a thermo-couple type temperature sensor which can go way way up.

    On the question of etiquette if the conversation is of general interest keep it on the forum but when you get into masses of detail why waste everyone's time.

    Another issue with Nylon is it sucks water like a sponge, so be prepared to dry it before every use even stored in vacuum bags..
