So in the way described by the article the Xynole-epoxy covering would make it a practically rigid bottom?
I thought that what makes the SoF so surprisingly resistent is the fact that they absorbe the impacts....
Then why not make a S&G bottomed SoF, wouldnt that be just easier or its for weight reasons?
