Members TXAG Posted January 29, 2014 Members Report Posted January 29, 2014 That guy is so painfully tedious to listen to, I can't ever make it through an entire video of his. One thing he's completely full of s### on is parachutes are not sewn with polyester thread -- they're sewn with bonded nylon thread...and so are the harnesses and containers. I have no idea who told him that, but all the military specifications I've read on parachute rigging call for bonded nylon thread. I'm not saying it's better than polyester...I'm just saying he's full of crap on that piece. Quote
Members camano ridge Posted February 1, 2014 Members Report Posted February 1, 2014 TX, it probably does not matter however you seem to apriciate accuracy of facts, you might want to update your facs. Bonded polyester thread is used on parachutes as well as bonded nylon thread. http://www.coatsindustrial.com/en/products-applications/technical-sewing/outdoor-pursuits/parachutes Quote https://www.facebook.com/CamanoRidgeCustomLeather?fref=ts
Members TXAG Posted February 1, 2014 Members Report Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Right. Whatever. There were other inaccuracies too...I just don't pay any attention to what he says anymore. Also, I tend to rely on actual military specifications...not propaganda from a thread manufacturer. I've packed a logbook full of reserve parachutes. How many have you packed?

Members camano ridge Posted February 1, 2014 Members Report Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Over 1000 I was Force Recon in the United States Marine Corps during Viet Nam and continued skidiving for several years after that. I agree for Military Specs However there are civilian chutes and some of those manufactures do use bonded polyester thread.

Members SonnyMarrow Posted February 7, 2014 Members Report Posted February 7, 2014 What was that adhesive used in the video? I've been trying to decide on one for awhile for chrome tanned leather projects. Quote
