    1. The Forklift Theory is definitely out. You can hit it at 30mph and crack the forklift, basically.

    2. I still consider it a failure, due to the gummy nature of this particular sample.


    Something is definitely wrong here. Could be the carbon powder, could be the epoxy, I dont know..

    This thing is far away from granite- it's basically a big shoe sole.

    Keep in mind that I'm not looking for damping properties here (that seems to be excellent!). I'm looking for concrete and granite-like slabiness.

    The EQ countertops seem to have that, could it be the polyester resin?
