It’s stretchy and tough. It withstands the grease, abrasion and last a couple years on its function.<p>Visit me at

is it electroplated? is it have nano structure or micro or just film?</p>

In addition to that you are lengthening the fabric, which would also cause an increase in resistance. In essence stretching the fabric is making a longer resister with smaller surface area, giving you maximum resistance.</p>

I think it has something to do with tightening of the weave but Im not sure. It is also counter to the resistance equation of materials in regards to length and cross sectional area.</p>

Initial tests are very promising; less stretch, but more grip! Assembly is still a challenge though. More at Etsy:<br>
