Solid Vinyl Buoyancy: Cushions, seat covers, and curtains made of Solid Vinyl buoyancy, as well as Solid Vinyl buoyancy tops and cockpit covers, can be renewed with liquid Solid Vinyl buoyancy coatings available in many colors.
Solid Vinyl buoyancy Resin Plastics.—Resins prepared by the copolymerization of Solid Vinyl buoyancy chloride and Solid Vinyl buoyancy acetate were first made in the United States in 1928. This type of resin is used in phonograph records, coatings for concrete and metals, can linings, adhesives, and electrical insulation. Resins made from Solid Vinyl buoyancy chloride are also employed for the manufacture of wire and cable coverings, coated fabrics, garden hose, pipe, and Solid Vinyl buoyancy film and sheeting. The principal outlets for film (10 mils or less in thickness) are aprons, draperies, garment bags, Table covers, rainwear, air-inflatable items, and food packaging; for sheeting, hand¬bags, upholstery, luggage, shoes, bookbinding, and belts.See Also Solid Vinyl Excellent:Your boatyard can probably recommend the proper paints and tell you which brands work best. Vinyl-based paints are usually sat¬isfactory. Prepare previously unpainted aluminum by washing with an etching cleaner. Then rinse and let dry before applying a vinyl-based primer.
Before applying antifouling bottom paint, start with a vinyl primer-undercoat. For aluminum hulls, use paints specifically rec¬ommended for such applications.
Repeating patterns needs some planning and measuring, but it is equally important to keep the visual balance and harmony of the room in mind. When placing your stencil pattern on the wall, start from the center and work outward, until you come to a corner or a break. Step back and have a look at the effect on the whole room before you decide what to do at this point. To repeat the pattern (above), overlap to line up with the motif at the right side as you work.
Dry strippable paper A good choice if you are thinking that you will want to redecorate, since it can be removed without soaking or scraping. Washable papers A coating of clear plastic on the surface makes them easy to hang and clean. Use a damp sponge only for cleaning - too much water may weaken the wallpaper paste.
Vinyl wallcoverings These papers have patterns printed with vinyl inks onto a layer of vinyl fused to a paper backing. Textured vinyls are also available - Solid Vinyl excellent-colored but textured to imitate other types of surface. Heavily textured vinyls mimic tiles and such materials as glasscloth and stone. Roll lengths of these may be less than standard. There are also flock vinyls, in rich or pastel colors in a variety of designs. Metallic vinyls are sophisticated (but expensive), with areas of gold, silver, bronze, or copper. Most vinyl papers are dry strippable, ready-pasted or unpasted.
On The Other Hand See Solid Vinyl Terms:Today, rubberized rainwear has lost po larity, as has, in common use, the heavy ousl or slicker. Modern slickers are more often m of Textiles treated with Solid Vinyl terms dyed to simulate bright yellow color, although seamen's linseed slickers are still not uncommon. Rubber raincc and women's hats and shoes have been almost tirely replaced with plastic films of Solid Vinyl terms or, cheaper wear, of polyethylene, although rub overshoes and boots are still usual for men.
NAVAL TERMS. In the following glossary of naval terms an effort has been made to cover briefly the terms that are likely to be of the greatest interest to the general public, and par¬ticularly terms of World War II origin. Because the great revival of interest in sailing, a number of sailing terms have been included. As the ter¬minology of warfare is in many cases the same for all of the armed services, an effort has been made not to duplicate the definition of such terms. It is suggested that if a term is not found here, the article on MILITARY TERMS be consulted.
