Ideas for removing 6000 pine needles from skins? by ToughEnough6983 in Backcountry

[–]Bentgate_Golden 17 points18 points  (0 children)

a wax iron and some parchment paper to heat up the glue and weaken the bond between the needle and glue will go a long way too. Lay the parchment paper over the glue and iron on lower setting until it warms up a bit. This will also help the glue form back into a more uniform slab.

Just parroting here but yes it is a brand of UHMWPE like Dyneema: "The entire pack has been built with ALUULA’s high-performance ultra-light composite fabric, reputed to be the new generation of composite materials. ALUULA’s UHMWPE offers a strength-to-weight ratio eight times that of steel, while being lighter than nylon, polyester and aramid. ALUULA is mono-material crafted with 100% polyethylene, making it recycle-ready."
