Blind optimism? Lol. Can't be seeing what others refuse to, huh? I'm cool with that. I don't have doubts of a Polartec-KBLB announcement. Just a matter of when.
Sojomy: "I'm going to assume that we won't see any spider silk uses from Polartec for a year or more."
I think that is quite a safe assumption. Given their contract with MtM, KBLB will probably be directing most of their output from 2020 to that contract. Polartec hopefully will get some samples, but I'm guessing 2021 will be the earliest they could get quantities.
All of this is still assuming Polartec remains interested in KBLB. Aside from a mention by KBLB, we've not heard much from Polartec/Milliken.
