Small enough to fit in a pocket yet serious enough to provide real answers, this primer is a must-have for architecture and history buffs, tourists, and churchgoers interested in decoding the styles and symbols of religious buildings. Every building contains clues embedded in its design that identify not only its architectural style but also who designed it, what kind of congregation it was built for, and why. This practical yet charming handbook is the key to decoding the style, history, evolution, and social significance of religious buildings. Not strictly limited to churches, it also covers abbeys, chapels, and monasteries, among other structures. Organized according to architectural element (windows, domes, arches, etc.), each element is presented in chronological order. Additional chapters explore the architectural influence of geography, history, and various creeds, along with an illustrated timeline showing how, where, and in many cases why certain church features evolved through the centuries. There is also a useful introduction to naming each component of a church, from vaults to buttresses and transepts to apses. All entries are illustrated with period engravings and line drawings. This book will be invaluable for architecture buffs and anyone who has ever wondered why classic New England churches are white with little ornament, why Quaker meetinghouses have no altars, or why Episcopalians traditionally favored the Gothic style.Binding Type: Paperback

Reliable heat tape that holds firm and releases clean
Color: Blue-2 Roll
The MS WGO High Temperature Tape is an excellent product for sublimation printing and heat transfer work. The blue color makes it easy to distinguish from other tapes in the workshop. At 10mm wide and 33 meters long, each roll provides generous coverage, and getting 2 rolls in a pack makes it a great value. The adhesive holds firmly during heat press operations but releases cleanly without leaving any residue — exactly what you need for sublimation transfers. The heat resistance is genuine; I've used these at typical heat press temperatures (350-400°F) and the tape performs flawlessly without melting, bubbling, or breaking down. The clean release is a major benefit over cheaper alternatives that leave sticky residue and ruin transfers. The narrow 10mm width is ideal for securing the edges of transfers precisely. I've gone through multiple rolls for my sublimation projects and repurchased several times. A reliable, professional-quality tape that does exactly what it promises.

very thin. very large amount. two rolls last me years maybe.
Color: A-Yellow-2 Roll
fast shipping. film tape was more than i though. very thin. strong. great adhesion but no residue. i am us8ng as anti conductivity barrier on switch c9nnection tabs where solder and wire is bare. to resist possible short circuits or touching by hands... basically wrapping parts to keep safe and i did heat lightly and it seemed to set it up and kick like ub 2poxy woupd. quick and now it 8snt sticky or able to remove easy. basically it is awesome and necessary for any electronics lab and if you are DIY or experienced then just buy it because you need it even if you never heard of it.
