Correction - what is the thinnest chute material out there? Gene probably
knows ... maybe others have found something better than silk (I still think
silk may be the best material overall - it can be bought cheap on ebay).

reference I want to pack the largest chute possible
in an 18, 29, 38mm tube. Hang time is critical, I want to get a giant
chute in there. One thing I found was an old silk parachute
that I got from Aerocon, it was from an aerial flare. The material is
mind-blowing, it is high quality silk but I have not found anything
like that, shocked to see this would just get burnt up, but I guess it is
single use and probably just cheap silk.
Anyhow, what do people think is the smallest chute (I am still a fan of
top-flite for that purpose). What is better?
thank you
