The GoreTx membrane consists of a layer of Teflon covered by a thin layer of
polyurethane. Yes, in essence the much vaunted GoreTx is relying on PU, just
like the rest of the W/B fabrics. Not that GoreTex would DAMAGE either of
these afaik. Sure will make the membrane useless though.

What Dubbin did do was rot the stitching. That was in the days of cotton
stitching though. Doubt it would damage polyester thread.
