Steven,
Basskisser's loves to take a stand and continue to believe it even when you
provide proof that he is wrong. I loved his strong position concerning
whiskey and schnapps even when his own link showed that the key component of
whiskey was that it needed to be aged in oak casts.

I can now see BassK stating that your link is incorrect because it is used
for medical purposes and not to be used on a boat.

Here is a link showing the benefits of Gore-Tex sewing thread on a boat
cover or awning. "We know that GORE-TEX® sewing thread never fails due to
exposure to the environment. We back up that claim with a full lifetime
warranty. If the seams on your boat cover or awning fail before the end of
the usual life of the fabric, we'll pay for the repair work."

basskisser,
See, http://www.gore.com/creative/tanara.html , I would think it's
using
gore-tex thread to stitch a cushion together as opposed to say nylon
thread.

Nowhere on that site, NOWHERE is there a mention of Gore-Tex, a
fabric, go to THEIR website, not some generic drivel, and look around,
here is the link:

http://www.gore-tex.com

Actually, there is mention of gore-tex thread on thier website. You
just didn't look hard enough.

Here are links of people using gore-tex thread:

http://www.kron4.com/Global/story.asp?S=1511515

"The gore-tex thread, which looks like dental floss, is run up the check
then attached on the side of the head."

http://www.nordstromhospital.fi/eLips.htm

"Gore-tex thread is soft and elastic and around 1,8 mm in diameter."

http://www.perineology.com/files/vag_tape2.htm

"Then, with a constant visual control, stitches of Gore-Tex® threads set
on a small but strong needle are passed, right and left, through the
outer parts of the arcuate ligament."

Now, if you want to find it on their webside, go to
http://www.gore-tex.com and click on the link at the bottom, Medical
Products. Then click on one of the products links, general should be
fine. Near the bottom you'll find a line for gore-tex suture that will
lead you to:
