    DIY Lightweight Composite Cab Build

    Now you are starting to get the strenght differnace divinicell nidacore and such bond all the way through between cores... there is not peel but if a failure happens the core is destroyed not just top layer with mechinacal bond. Silica is a thickner but is very strong however to much will...

    DIY Lightweight Composite Cab Build

    There is one factor that you have not calculated... H80 Divinycell has tiny holes that the resin impregnates to create a mechanical bond this makes it much stronger and stiffer... polystyrene will not allow for this because it is closed cell. As far as polyester goes I hate the stuff and...
