Doug,

If you wouldn't mind, would you share what you learned about this material?
What characteristics does this material have that make it superior to other
types that are used for wave solder fixtures?

Also, when you say the price is competitive, what would be a ballpark price
for a fixture? I pay anywhere from $100-200 for a G10 fixture depending on the
machining required...how does that compare?

Thanks in Advance!
