i think that with two layers of 0.3mm of glass fibre mat i would have
zero problems with _handling_, maybe only with falling of it from 10m
height, or if some dork have jump on it. anyway - you can`t dent it -
only wreck, and my test piece (1 layer, 10x10cm) has some visible
degree of flexibility.
on the other hand - purposely denting of 1000$ thing must be very fun
i think : )

if it woild weigh 10kg, then it would be strong enough to hold a dork
on its surface, though not american 250lb one of course : )))
