Talk:Gas mantle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] What is the mantle made of?

I'm missing something here . The article says "Modern mantles are made by saturating a ramie-based artificial silk or rayon fabric with rare earths". So is the fabric ramie or artificial silk/rayon? In other words, what does "ramie-based" mean? 89.241.8.170 (talk) 10:12, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
