OK, correction, Steve Craig is the sports announcer on one of the TV
stations here in Houston. He probably would not be any help. Nor would Tom
Franklin, another announcer... :~)

Try Craig Stone. ;~)

Well, that sounds like a good idea and I have exchanged 3 e-mails with him
today. I may be just short of being considered a heckeler from his view.
LOL.. I do however think it would be great if perhaps you or some one
else
invite them to participate or at least check in with us once in a while.
The more requests from different people that they get the more credible
and
perhaps worth while we will appear and the more likely their
participation.

If any one wants to contact Steve Craig at Titebond,



Mr. Stone has been more than prompt with his replies.

If he is not the one to participate, I am sure that he would know the
person.

Check out the responses that I have received form Titebond regarding
the
tests.

Look under Titebond response from headquarters posted this morning.

Leon-

thank you for taking the time to correspond with the folks at
titebond. you might consider inviting the titebond rep to post
directly to rec.woodworking. I have a couple of questions to ask and
I'm sure others do as well. I think we're a big enough forum to
warrant their attention....

Back during my automotive days it was very important that we used structural
glass adhesive to rebond new replacement windshields and the back glass. I
always wondered how a shattered windshield provided much support.

They don't shatter much in a rollover, and the strength they provide
will be during the first roll, when most of the energy is dissipated.
Even in the most impressive rollovers I've seen (4 or 5 rolls)
the windshield still was mostly intact... the plastic layer inside keeps
it in place, and it'll still have strength in tension even if the glass
is cracked.

Rear windows, yeah, they'll break into tiny granular, not-very-sharp
pieces. But, the C-pillars are much stronger, I'm guessing the structural
contributions of the back window are trivial compared to the windshield.

As long as he _participates_ rather than uses it as a marketing outlet,
sure. If I start seeing marketing drivel from Titebond's folks, on top
of all the other stuff here lately about them, I'll switch glue brands
to something else.

You are absolutely free to do that and you can even plonk them so that you
do not have to see their posts.
