Wow, thanks for the interest.? That was fun.? As to answering the questions,
the carbon fiber was pure and untreated.? The mix for the lay-up was a standard
two ingredient plastic made for the purpose.? The same mix was used on each
panel.? The tension was put on the tensioned panel with a canvas streatcher for
artists.? Each panel was set atop the bottom of a pie plate which then left an
outline to cut out the identical panels.? The regidity and weight bearing
characteristics were determined by setting the identical sized panels across a
span (actually various spans?of different lengths).? Nickels were then stacked
in the center and the flexion measured (thus being able to determine the %
difference as related to weight).? Thank you for being polite and asking.
P.S.? Sorry to hear about the daughter/lawyer thing.? If its any consolation,
she didn't go into American automotive design.? See:? My home town--Detroit.
