I have some unknown brand tufnol here. 12.5mm thick.
I've very quickly knocked out an insulator clamp. It seems to chip very easily but appearance is of no importance.
The problem has come in tapping it and then bolting it up. It has cracked right through the middle of the laminate.
Has anyone got any experience with this material. I've had to cut it with a bloody multi tool and that's also how I cut the slots.
I've got plenty of offcut left so I could start from scratch and make a better effort of shaping it but I don't want it to crack again.
