Nothing rubber about this material. If you've ever heard the sound of kevlar
sails rattling in use on a modern racing yacht , it is that sound if you tap
the material, a metalic sort of sound.

Latest marginal gluing attempt is epoxy after grinding back the ptfe
covering, will see tomorrow, if any sort of adhesion.

shear strength of a test of 12 x 6mm plain lap about 1kg , more than
required for current use, high temp ability not required this time. So
lightly grind back the very thin ptfe coating with a Dremmel disc, on to be
joined faces

wrt last

peel strength , not shear strength

It easily forms into a cylinder of 3mm radius and can go tighter without
cockling
