New material
More new material! Textreme/Zylon Hybrid material - super thin and very light for ZLC.
I've only had the chance to make one blade with this so far but I do have 5 square metres if any other blade builders want to buy/trade - it was only available in a fairly large quantity direct from Textreme.
My first blade with it is my new/old Hans Alser "undercover" ZLC:
This is probably one of the slowest, most controlled ZLC blades ever. I've been enjoying using slower and thinner blades with fast rubbers recently and I happened to buy some new flexible epoxy for testing at the same time as the ZLC. Once cured, it's still very flexible unlike the usual epoxy used for carbon fibre in blades so it has some interesting stats! The handle came from a Hans Alser that was broken beyond repair but it's really comfortable so I had to make use of it somehow.
