Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the complement!
Hi Ron,
Thanks for the input. I'll check it out, right now I have 450-sheets of Springhill 125lb Tag sheets. Page size is 24"x36". I don't have my big printer so I have been cutting them down to fit my smaller printer that can do 13 x19. For the pulsejet project the sheets were cut to 12 x18 which gives me 4-pages per full sheet.
I will look into the 120lb though. Kind of curious if it is Index, Tag, Cover or Vellum?
I did some testing years ago on different brands of cardstock. A local paper distributer gave me several swatch books of the products they carry. From these I cut some blanks and did some tests to see what was the strongest. Springhill Tag 125# easily was the strongest. Also is the hardest to form!
I did test some heavier Tag products, up to 200lb, but it will not go through any of my printers...
Thank you for the input-always looking for new stuff.
To make my models strong, I have been relying on "concertina" folds to create spars and longerons.
Best regards,
Mike Bauer
