I know some serious pros have used Poyflax from time to time. It has no interesting soulful tooth or variety. I simply don't like how it feels. It may last longer, not be as absorbent with humidity changes, and may not rot nearly as fast as linen, but I don't like the way it takes paint. Maybe one just needs to get used to it. It feels wimpy.

I still have some that I try to use for small panels and studies. Everytime I do, it causes me some regrets.
