Very interesting stuff, Wolfgang. I'm leaving the house for a few hours, but will be composing a list of a few simple questions this raises for me.
Periodically we are called on, in this trade, to perform tasks we really have no business performing. Knowing, however, that if the customer (or friend) can't get it from us they will go to a possibly even less qualified person for help.
I am not in the business of sacrificing safety to do things cheaply but may, thru ignorance, do just that. I am willing to pursue this further, or at least gain some knowledge of some of your points.
Those of us who work from engineered prints for years do not develop our engineering skills too well. Neither can we afford to hire an engineer to help with these things---thus the beauty of sites like this.
Thanks for the continuing feedback!
