Easy, go here, simpleton http://www.gore-tex.com You'll see there
is
NO Gore-Tex thread. Now, if you believe there is, show me some.


I don't know why you can't find the info yourself, but let me help
you.

Here is a link showing the benefits of Gore-Tex sewing thread on a
boat
cover or awning.

from: http://www.americana.com/fabricawnings/goretex.htm

"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."

Bass, do you ever get tired of being wrong?

You are wrong. I want to see from GORE-TEX'S OWN WEBSITE a reference
to "Gore-Tex thread". Now, I understand that a lot of people use the
words Gore-Tex
generically. I care not about that. NOYB SPECIFICALLY stated "Gore-Tex
thread". The website for Gore-Tex Inc. states no such thing.

I gave that to you. Only they call it Gore-Tex Suture. Now, if you
want to argue the suture means something different than thread, go right
ahead. But you'll lose that also since in this case, the suture *is*
thread used to surgically close wounds or join tissues.

Please show where, on Gore-Tex's website, they say anything about
"Gore-Tex thread". You are losing track of the post. NOYB stated that
some boat manuf. use "Gore-Tex thread" for stitching seat cushions,
etc. Now, do you REALLY think that he meant Gore-Tex sutures????

Are you that stupid!?!? W.L. Gore and Associates introduced Gore-Tex thread
in the mid 80's.
At that time, they apparently called it Gore-Tex thread.

They've since changed the name to "Tenara"...so you will not find it listed
as "Gore-Tex thread"
on their website. However, here are a number of links discussing "Gore-Tex
thread", several of
which mention a change in the name to Tenara:

"At about the same time, GORE-TEX thread (now known as TENARA) was
introduced in a strength compatible for the rigors of a marine enclosure "
http://www.ez2cy.com/other_enclosures/e_printable.html

"Offering the best in materials, 316 stainless steel tubing & hardware, UV
impervious Tenara (formerly Gore Tex) thread"
http://coastlinememories.com/gemini.canvas.ad.html

" The seat cushions are made from heavy, comfortable 40-ounce vinyl,
stitched with weatherproof Gore-Tex thread"
http://www.boatingmag.com/article.as...article_id=152


"Doyle Caribbean was the first and is still the only manufacturer to
exclusively use Gore-TexT thread for all new canvas and repairs - a thread
that is guaranteed for life."

There are at least 72 instances on google where you can find "Gore-Tex
thread"...and most
of them deal with its use in marine applications.

One more time for the class dolt. Please show anywhere on the Gore-Tex
website where there is any mention of "Gore-Tex thread". Can you do
that? Do you really suppose they use Gore-Tex Suture for boat
cushions?
