    Great for strength, bad for impact resistance. You’d want a non-filled material or at least less stiff filler. Something like aramid (kevlar) would give you good properties across the board for an application like this though.

        Fair, though I wasn’t thinking of machining in this case. But yeah, my experience isn’t generally related to food safe stuff, so I don’t always think about it. Not too much concern about that on subs, helicopters, jets, etc.
