Re: Textilene and the tropics

Steve and group,

Steve, you remember the pattern the Textilene left on the Lexan ports?

We had snap on Textilene covers for a large ports. The tropical sun was so hot that it left a waffle pattern in the Lexan from the Textilene. Never could get that waffle pattern out. The covers worked great except where the Textilene was flat against the polycarbonate. I guess it was good there as well if you don't mind the waffle pattern. There were a few times when it pulled off a bit like a sticky note. That polycarbonate got very soft in the sun and that was with cream colored Textilene. Imagine if it was dark blue or some other color.

I liked the fact that you could see out but others couldn't see in.
