Materials Testing.

Now not everyone tests the components before they build something, but I like to test various materials and then base my designs on the characteristics of the materials. Id like to find out how strong the 6mm corflute is before I use it to make a frame, and its clear that one layer isn't going to be strong enough. By using 3 or more layers glued together it should have vastly increased strength, rigidity and flexibility but it will be interesting to see the difference between a single and three layers in a basic test. Single layer of 6 mm. Snapped at 10.5 kg. 3 layers glued with pu glue. 50 kgs and only bending slightly. I think 3 layers will be suitable for this application. I don't test every bolt and screw but I like to know that what I build is dependable and that it works.
