      Yeah most space age material names are. It’s dacron wrapped in mylar surmounted in inconel plated in clyno and attached with velcro. Which of those did I make up?

        I know that Mylar, Inconel and Velcro are real, so it’s a toss-up between Dacron and Clyno.

        After consulting an online source, I vote that Clyno is the imposter.

          I have only heard some old-fashioned sailors and marketing people call it Dacron, everybody else has settled on polyester
