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

any thoughts on durability below full failure of the entire panel? Looking at the comparisons of 5oz tight weave with the s-glass I'd be curious what happens with less than complete failures of the entire laminate. The reason I ask is that the 4oz s-glass was spectacularly different than 4oz e-glass in that realm. Screwdriver punctures were confined to a much smaller area with white fracturing traveling 1/2 the distance resulting in less total damage to the underlying wood. One bending a panel on it's weak axis the s-glass panel bent into an semi ellilpse with much whitening but no failure with projecting wood splinters,,the e-glass simply split wide open. I'd be curious to compare the two "4oz" glasses, tight weave and s-glass for a worthwhile comparison of cost/benefit.
