coming up on 5 weeks now, sent well over a dozen messages through the contact us page, pm's to rich on DLN, and messages through the lab page that owns crystal.
no reply even acknowledging my existence.
if i call and try to speak to someone, my bet is they will have no idea why i'd be angry, and worse, have no more relevant information that i've been requesting. all i need to know is what conditions to cut it, wet, dry, and using what kind of tools. not all plastics cut the same, not all glass fiber cuts the same, and not all composites cut the same. i need specifics and nobody seems to want to give that to me, so we dropped the project completely and have gone a different direction.
and that's ok. the samples we got i did some quantitative strength testing and found it extremely lacking anyway. glad i never got the chance to begin with. this stuff is brittle, and weak. its less strong than pmma, and will not suffer any flexing. at all. its lighter than zirconia but 100x less resilient to force application.
