Specifics of the "Burn Test" on Towels.

[armoredsaint]

I maybe getting paranoid, but if you get a clean burn (i.e.- no black smoke) it means the threading is 100% cotton? And if there is black smoke and it somewhat melts like plastic, then it's bad right?



Thanks.

you are correct.

Leo, DFTowel posted a flow chart of the burn test. It was in a recent towel thread, very informative.

Do you mean the chart from this thread?
