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:

Hmm, Steve, even you can do better than that. You say that Gore-Tex
has thread on their website, yet you show other websites. Now you know
that NONE of those products uses the Gore-Tex trademark.

Not true. The goremedical site is the Gore-Tex® official corporate
website for Gore-Tex® medical products. It is *their* website. Look at
the official Gore-Tex® medical products website at this link:

http://www.goremedical.com/English/P...ture/Index.htm

and you will see that their website shows the surgical thread labled
with their registered trademark GORE-TEX.®

Did you look at their medical products website? Do you still not
believe that Gore-Tex® makes surgical suture thread?

Hmm, so, how many boats do YOU see that use "Gore-Tex" thread, Steve?

Ah, wonderful! You've finally admitted you're wrong and that there is
such a thing as Gore-Tex thread.

How would I know how many boats I've seen that use Gore-Tex thread?
It's not the kind of question I usually ask when going on someone's
boat.
