In Response To: Announce: Test results web page *LINK* (Sam McFadden)

Sam,,that sure is more precise than the method I used,,,hammer, pick and my arms/feet. I was comparing s-glass, e, polyester and kevlar on okoume. But didn't weigh anything.
Just to get this right,,a higher propogation number reflects more confined damage? Wish I had tried out some of that fine weave stuff,,,isn't the 5oz RAKA a difficult wet-out? My rough sense was that 4oz s-glass is an ok replacement for 6oz e-glass but that for real world impacts it still allowed the wood to get dinged in a way that a thicker layer of epoxy/glass wouldn't. What about 3.75oz tight weave?
