On the verge of giving up, a new idea came to him. Next he found that nylon thread, when woven in loops and heat-treated, retains its shape and is resilient however, the loops had to be cut in just the right spot so that they could be fastened and unfastened many times. However, he had yet to figure out a way to mechanize the process and to make the looped side.
#HEAVY DUTY FASHION TAPE TRIAL#
Nylon had only recently been invented, and through trial and error de Mestral eventually discovered that, when sewn under hot infrared light, nylon forms small hook shapes. De Mestral eventually selected nylon, on the reasoning that it does not easily fray or attract mold, is non-biodegradable, and could be produced in threads of varying thickness. As a result, De Mestral began to explore the use of synthetic fibers, believing that they would provide a more resilient product. However, the cotton frayed and wore out in a relatively short period of time. He did manage to gain the assistance of one weaver, who produced two cotton strips based on De Mestral's designs. ĭe Mestral's proposal was initially rejected by industry leaders when he took his idea to Lyon, which was then a center of weaving. On a scale as small as that of hook-and-loop fasteners, matching up each of these hooks with the corresponding eye is impractical, thus leading to the indeterminate matching. With larger hook-and-eye fasteners, each hook has its own eye.
The other difference is that hook-and-loop has indeterminate match-up between the hooks and eyes. This was needed, because in decreasing the size of the hooks, the strength was also unavoidably lessened, thus requiring more hooks for the same strength. Firstly, instead of a single-file line of hooks, hook-and-loop fasteners have a two-dimensional surface. Shrinking the hooks led to the two other important differences. Hook-and-eye fasteners have been common for centuries, but what was new about hook-and-loop fasteners was the miniaturisation of the hooks and eyes. Not everyone will be fortunate enough to get these things for many reasons.The big breakthrough De Mestral made was to think about hook-and-eye closures on a greatly reduced scale. That would be like any other “limited time offer” availability. However, these types of things are limited time objectives, and it’s unfortunate that some ppl cannot for whatever reason be able to obtain any of these event rewards, but I do not agree that the MT, or the MoP challenge rewards should be brought back b/c ppl weren’t able to do them. Not to mention they’re fun, and this is a type of solo content that ppl don’t have to rely on others to be able to do. They provided a lot of time spent in game instead of aimlessly waiting for a new xpac to go live. I would not be opposed to Blizz putting in a form of Challenge Mode/Mage Tower type event each xpac however.
Obviously that isn’t possible b/c we fused our weapons with the Sword of Sargeras, and the weapons were no more…outside of the appearances we worked to obtaining. Not to mention that in order to get these artifact appearances, the weapons themselves would still need to have the power they had b/c those fights were geared around what those weapons could do. The people who achieved the original artifact appearances get to keep them as exclusives and new players can get the same model but with a different color. *After some ideas posted in this thread I’d like to add mage-like tower events in the future, include the old artifact appearances but with a different color variation and add new weapon models for each spec/class, so at least those who missed the first mage-tower event can get the same weapon model but with a different color and Blizzard can add new models to the game as well. Please give us players who were unable due to different circumstances the chance to unlock these artifact skins. I now have the time and I can put in the effort to achieve those skins.
I think this event should come back and it should be just as challenging as it was before. I think this is unfair that this event is no longer active and the artifact appearances from the mage tower has some of the best looking weapon transmogs in the game. The mage tower was simply too difficult for me to complete with the limited amount of time I had to play. I’m one of those players who played during legion but didn’t have the time to complete the mage tower due to IRL restrictions. I’d like to request that the mage tower be brought back so that I can achieve these weapon variations. Shadowlands is introducing new transmog rules that allow us to equip Any artifact weapon appearances as long as it follows normal weapon transmog rules.
