Im not sure, you might be right. As I understood it, with silicone and elongation up to 600-700% it should be ok with both. I have not asked OAC yet how exactly he does sublim, just seen his video on the pressing of skis. For me, when I see it work for the skis, the sublim is much more simpler shape...

In my experience Carbon eats much more then Glass. Not sure why, perhaps it the way it is 'woven'. I also noticed that same glass weight can eat different quantity of Resin depending on the way it is 'woven' . If you look at glass from 2 different suppliers, one can have much more air pockets then t...
