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?

Yes, because it's the same material under a different name, one called
thread for sewing of textiles and one called suture for medical use.
Both threads are spun from yarn made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene
(ePTFE)

Here is the official Gore products website describing Gore Thread:

http://www.gore.com/creative/tenara.html

and here is the official Gore products website describing Gore Sutu

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

Both of them are official Gore sites, both of them specifically describe
their product as thread. What is it that you still do not understand?
If you don't believe the websites, why don't you call Gore products on
the phone and ask them if they make thread?



I can hear it now:

basskisser: "Yes, but do actually call it *Gore-Tex thread*"?

Rep from Gore-Tex: "Well, we used to...but now we call it Tenara"

basskisser: "So it's not called Gore-Tex thread?"

Rep from Gore-Tex: "No. Not anymore"

basskisser: "Ha! I knew it." (and he runs back to his keyboard to post the
results of his conversation)

basskisser on computer: "I called Gore-Tex and asked them if they have
something called Gore-Tex thread, and they said no".


He'll just never get it, Steve. Why bother...
