Fabric gauges?

Man works from sunup to sundown, but a woman's work is NEVER done.

:~)

That's because they were watching soaps all afternoon.

It does not look the same.

We males know what nonsense that is. But those of us married as long as I have know to keep one's mouth shut ;-)

Nah, that's no fun. One just has to accept the consequences and smile. I get whacked, a lot. ;-)

There are confusing "gages/gauges" in sewing definitions. Yours is _thread-count_. Mine is _thickness_.

Yep. My wife, just clowning around, can hit my shoulder hard enough to hurt :-(

It's one of Shakespeare's jokes--"Man he works from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done." That can be taken as "their work is overwhelming in quantity" or "they never do their work".

Aroint thee, varlet!

Jim....Do you own a micrometer? If so check the vinyl. Warren

Top of the head. I had a free pass when I was on Coumaden. ...and used it. ;-)

This site shows Gauge (thickness) 2.8 to 40 mils

This site shows Gauge/thickness

This site shows 20 gauge is .020 inches thick

I'm begining to think the gauge number is the thickness in thousands of an inch (mils). Mike

I did. But websites list vinyl fabric by "gage" :-(

Oh, yes! You can tell real quickly if you're loved... just try to die ;-)

...Jim Thompson

Loved or needed? ;-)

Yes - a closed mouth gathers no foot. :-)

Your own, OR anyone else's ?.

When it comes to 'Thickness', Dimbulb is the expert.

_Sheet metal_ gauges aren't the same as sheet metal gauges. There's different gauges for different sorts (iron, brass, aluminum) of material, there's different gauges for the _same_ material, etc.

So if your question means "does the material thickness have a monotonic relationship with the gauge number?" -- I think that's a very good bet. If you question means "can I look at a chart titled 'sheet metal gauge vs. thickness' and tell how thick my vinyl is?" -- Heh heh. Heh heh heh heh. Heh heh heh hee hee hee hee heh heh (etc.)

They start it then leave it for someone else to finish?
