TaylorM: Welcome to ChaCha!
You: hello
TaylorM: So, you want to make a floss thread eh?
TaylorM: Would you mind elaborating?
TaylorM: Please?
You: well I'm interested in making my own stuff
You: I make my own toothpaste for instance
TaylorM: Your own stuff...
You: and I make my own butter
TaylorM: So you want directions on making toothpaste?
You: no no floss threat
TaylorM: Err. yeah. Oops. You want directions on making floss?
TaylorM: I'm somewhat confused,
You: yes floss
TaylorM: OK, I will do my best to try and find you some directions. One moment please
You: thanks
TaylorM: Here is some general info about dental floss.
TaylorM: Here is a medical approach to the importance of floss. I'm having some trouble finding directions on how it is manufactured, so hang on please.
You: ok I will be patient sir
TaylorM: Thank you.
TaylorM: Here are a list of supplies various manufacturers seem to use in making dental floss picks...
TaylorM: You picked a hard one,
TaylorM: I'll keep trying to find instructions if you like, but it is highly doubtful, as dental floss is mass produced, not created by individuals...
TaylorM: Would you like me to do that?
You: Yes instructions please, you're very helpfull so far
TaylorM: OK, I will do my best, but can't guarantee any results due to how unique your question is. 1 moment
TaylorM: Here is info on a device used to make dental floss threading. It is actually a patent
TaylorM: No luck so far... :(
TaylorM: Here is a detail of the patent for dental floss, which (somewhat) describes how it is made...
TaylorM: Unfortunately I havent been able to find any results.
TaylorM: Ahh...
TaylorM: I found the manufacturing process!
You: Really?
TaylorM: Yep, on Ask.com
TaylorM: I cant add it to the results, but here is the URL...
TaylorM: http://www.answeres.com/topic/dental-floss
TaylorM: Oops, no e in answers
TaylorM: Please paste that into your web browser and scroll down to the Manufacturing Process section.
TaylorM: By the way, you get the toughest search of the day award,
TaylorM: Anything else I can do for you? I highly doubt there is a better description of the making of dental floss out there.
You: So is there any way I can produce this at home?
TaylorM: Not that I could find. All dental floss is mass produced at a factory level, and it isn't considered practical to create it at home
TaylorM: I'm sorry that I couldn't be more helpful, but this is the best I could do.
TaylorM: My apologies.
TaylorM: With that being said, would you mind if I ended the session (in reality, I'd probably transfer you)?
TaylorM: I've honestly done my best to try and find some results, but to no avail.
You: Is there any way I can buy the device described in the patents of Gilette on link number 5?
TaylorM: Let me take a look...
TaylorM: Ahh, you would have to contact the company/person who made the patent.
TaylorM: *awaits the question as to how to contact them*
You: How do I contact Gilette about this?
TaylorM: LOL, your killing me. That is a separate question all together. Let me look up their contact info
TaylorM: There is their online contact page
TaylorM: Anything else I can do?
You: I think we are done sir!
You: Thanks for your help, I greatly appreciate it.
TaylorM: You better give me a good rating. Have a good day,
TaylorM: Please RATE ME. Thanks for using ChaCha.
You: Yes I will
