Cotton, Silk, or Polyester, and why? Put them in order tooFor example, 1st best to wear, 2nd best to wear, 3rd best to wearThanks :) Cause Im going camping and thats all I have.
white glue will work if you dilute it 50% with waterthey also sell an adhesive in craft stores for gluing down gold leafand of course Bare-Metal sells foil with an adhesive backingat one time they also sold a foil adhesive.
It seems very unlikely that any glue that requires evaporation of a substance (solvent, such as petroleum or other organic, water, etc.) is going to work gluing any but the smallest piece of foil to plastic (where it can cure from the foil edges)Neither the foil nor most plastics will allow evaporation from anywhere but the edgesA two part substance or an contact cement that you dry first before application would seem necessary.
For very cold weather: Outer layer: waterproof and windproofGoretex, coated nylon, coated poly Next layer: insulationPolyester fleece is a common choice hereMiddle layer: medium sweat-mover - heavier wicking polyester, wool or similarSkin layer: lightweight sweat-mover - lightweight wicking polyester, lightweight wool, lightweight silk Cotton gets wet and stays wet, losing all insulative ability and actually causing core-chillingYes, that includes cotton socks and underpantsWicking polyester and wool move moisture away from the skin, keeping you drier and warmerSilk is not quite as absorbent as wool, but does pretty well Polyester fleece can be wrung out and put back on still damp and still offer fairly good insulationThe other big factor is windchillsomething that blocks air infiltration but lets sweat evaporate is extremely helpfulit can be a waterproof breathable like Goretex or a coated fabric with proper ventiliation (like pit zips and shoulder capes) built into the garmentStaying dry is key to staying warm.
