is it possible Make acrylic flame resistant?
I was reading about cotton and found that some cottons are treated with chemicals to make them flame retardant and that got me thinking, could the same be done with acrylic?
i'm not talking about being able to stand next to a candle but more what happens if your lighting a cigar or pipe, or if your friend who isn't paying attention flicks his cigarete butty in the wrong direction putting a dime shaped hole in your kilt (or jacket in my case) - maybe hopefully finding a solution that would atleast, minimize damage?
I did manage upon this http://www.ehow.com/how_5001660_make...retardant.html but haven't tested it yet and was wondering if anyone else has tried this or has heard of store bought chemicals that would be kilt friendly?
Thanks
Iain
