Adzel...real world benefits? Drawbacks?
I've seen a few manufacturers tout the use of Adzel, which appears to be a world of improvement over marine grade wood in terms of weight. What real-world benefits does that translate into? Any draw...

OK, but where does the separate fibreglass panel come in? Or does it?
I thought Azdel was pressure laminated to a fibreglass panel in the RV factory, just like filon is laminated to luan. Or does it come from the Azdel factory with some sort of pre-applied Gel coat? Like filon except structurally more stable so not requiring the luan backing?
And when they laminate the Azdel to the foam+Al interior of the shell, they don't use glue? Just high temp+pressure to melt everything together?
