Geert_2: thanks. When thinking about the marine environment, I have been aware of the importance of things like UV sensitivity. The trouble is that my colleague can only get limited access to the testing facilities, so we've had to zero in on a single issue - tensile strength. If we get decent results from this round of tests, we could see if there was funding for a next generation set of tests. Incidentally, I like your point about under and over extrusion.

It gets more brittle with age.

GR5 - many thanks for all that. Have now got to get down to a talk aimed at artists in St Ives. They are interested in a much different set of issues, such as filaments with tactile qualities. Am just going to experiment with prints in Bronze and SteelFill. Should be fun. I'll get back to tensile issues early next week.
