Welcome Stewart looking forwards to see what you come up with on the blank designs
Welcome Stuart, even if you are another softy southerner
.... I have only played with Polyester.....
Weren`t she the lead singer with X-ray Specs ?
Ohh no that was Poly Styrene.........
I wonder if they were related
Polyester and polystyrene are related to each other in that they are both thermo plastics but the molecular structure of the monomers differ.
In the diagrams you will see they are related by family (plastics) with a gender and hierarchy but one runs lateral to the other giving it more flexibility.
To give an example a polyester tow rope will stretch 1.5 times its length before snapping, Now try stretching a ceiling tile or a snackwagon cup.

I hope that has helped to answer your question.
On a foot note I would add:
Don't trust the atoms, they make everything up.
I made it up, it's bow laks.
