  Polyester finishing techniques
Polyester as a rule generally will not lay down smooth, but you should see a big difference between the pariffinated and direct gloss.
It is standard for polyester to be mixed 2% MEKP and 2% cobalt, but you can play with the cobalt to improve the workability of the polyester, but not the MEKP.
I have yet to work with pariffinated polyester and know that it is sensitive to temperature changes and important for the pariffin to move to the top.

Polyester tells the tale of a large-sized housewife (Divine) and her philandering husband.
Polyester is the story of Francine Fishpaw (Divine) alcoholic wife of Elmer (David Samson), the owner of a porno theater who is cheating on Francine with his secretary Sandra Sullivan (Mink Stole).
Polyester hit a strange note with me, it was low budgeted, starred Divine and the strangely lovable Edith Massey (a staple of early Waters films.) Also, it was shot in a surreal way, like a soap opera, and had the most bizarre film gimmick I'd ever seen.

 Process for the level dyeing of polyester material - Patent 4255154
To obtain level dyeings on polyester material it is therefore necessary that the control of the increase in temperature in the heating phase must be effected subject to specific exhaustion characteristics of the disperse dyes employed; and machine-related conditions, such as liquor circulations, have to be included in complicated and elaborate calculations.
On knitting separately the outside, centre, and inner layers of the polyester texturised yarn to a knitted piece, darker and lighter differences in colour are observed which point to unlevelness in the muff and which cannot be substantially improved even by a prolonged treatment at 130.degree.
An undyed polyester muff (700 g) and the above muff, which is dyed in a light grey shade, are treated together in a circulating-liquor machine in a liquor ratio of 1:10 with a blank liquor containing 28 g of di-(6-sulphonaphthyl-2)-methane, 28 g of ammonium sulphate and 7 ml of 80% aqueous formic acid.

 Marines Ban Polyester Clothing In Iraq
For these reasons, Marines have been limited to wearing clothing made with these materials only while on the relatively safe forward operating bases and camps where encounters with fires and explosions are relatively low.
The Marine was injured when the armored vehicle he was riding in struck an improvised explosive device, or IED, causing his polyester shirt to melt to his skin.
For years servicemembers with jobs that put then at a high risk of flame exposure, such as pilots and explosive ordnance disposal personnel, were kept from wearing polyester materials because of the extra burn threat.

 Don Casey Quick Tip #29: Polyester or Epoxy Resin?
Polyester resin is excellent for fiberglass lay-up--building a boat, for example-but it is less ideal for repair work.
Polyester laminating resin doesn't fully cure while exposed to air, so when it is used for lay-up, every application joins to the previous one on a molecular level.
This is relatively insignificant for a small repair, but where the damaged area is large, using polyester resin significantly lowers the cost of the repair.
