Are you sure you want 6" diameter hose? That is what you sent back to me saying it was much too wide.

Core thickness and the distance between composite layers are extremely important in the bending and deflection of the board. If you model the cross section of the board as a rectangle, the second moment of area (resistance to bending) is about 3.5 times greater in the 7.5mm height versus the 5 mm he...

I picked this up on Saturday. Thank you for posting it.
