Hi all,
Back in the early eighties, a neighbor of my dad's developed a machine that
made "lumber" out of chopped up fiberglass & structural foam. He could make it
almost any shape & any length. It was stronger than red oak, 30% lighter &
didn't rot. He received a contract from the military to produce seat slats for
troop seats. They were olive drab all the way through. Has anyone seen what
I'm talking about? I'm looking for 2 of these slats.
BTW, I used some of his product (10 inch wide, lap joint) for the floor in a
trailer I built & five years later, it still looks like new. Unfortunately he
was hounded by the lumber industry until he went belly up.
If anyone has any of this material, I'd like to buy some.
Thanks for your time & THANK YOU ARTHUR!
