Talk:Duramold

The Wiki link to the Fairchild F-46, unfortunately, is automatically rerouted to the article about the Fairchild T-46, a completely different aircraft. I could start an article about the F-46, which (it seems to me) ought to both correct the routing and provide new information. Of course I don't know a thing about it, so I am not the ideal candidate. Looking around on the net, I see there is enough information to make a stub, so I will ponder the task in hopes that someday the stub could be expanded. :) It would be my first actual page!

No information on Duramold arcade cabinets?
Where's the information about the version of Duramold used to produce the cabinets for Blaster (video game) and Bubbles (video game)? I remember Eugene Jarvis talking in Arcade's Greatest Hits for the PS1 about how they shrank over time and about one case where the pressure built up in one so much that it ejected its monitor into a Donkey Kong Jr machine, but that's about all I know about it.

I think this article either needs expanded to talk about the arcade Duramold cabinet, or a separate page be made if necessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.23.118.240 (talk) 09:23, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Strength vs. aluminum
The statement "A cylinder made of duramold is 80% stronger than a cylinder made of aluminum" needs some qualification -- the relative strength obviously depends on the thicknesses. BMJ-pdx (talk) 03:46, 26 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Also unclear whether it's stronger than a cylinder of equal weight or equal radius (and ideally it'd be nice to know in what way it's stronger (in tension? compression?)). I'd look for more information, but the provided citation is for an entire volume of a journal (and one which I can't find a copy of online). 71.212.128.116 (talk) 07:30, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
