A recent General Discussion topic on the Global warming senario made me ask, Will it really crack at -10°? Some of the vinyl sources give Cold Crack Ratings of -10°, -20°, -30°, etc. One I fould had -60°
The colder the rating, of course, the more expensive the vinyl; as much as &10 a yard range. Well I'm about as frugal (ok, cheap) as they come, but I sure don't want to get in my newly uphosltered car at -11° and have the -10° stuff crack. Also there is the issue of workability. The colder the rating also generally increases the thickness there by making sewing it together that much more of a challenge. I'm just wondering if this is a warning or simply a disclaimer (Might not crack, but sit at your own risk
) It rarely gets below -10° here and I don't see myself driving it when it does but there have been years when its gotten much colder. Do any home upholsterers have any experience on this?
Thanks,
Scott
