Last night I had a brainwave, I...

    I've been a little careless and stood too close to my hot exhaust. The end result is a melted hole in the leg of my Revit pants. These are made from what Revit call Airguard fabric but an inside label says "polyamide" Is this also what is referred to as Cordura ? Anyway, it melts pretty fast....
