Robert,

I vote a resounding YES!  We LOVE plastics, and can't get along without them
in our hobbies.  All help to get/use them better is welcomed!

When I was much younger, fiberglass panels, in the form of windows (I know -
portholes) cut out of fiberglass boats, were available for the asking.
Would those be the equivalent of G-10?  If you have sources for such scrap
supplies, please include them in your mini-guide.
