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...

Gdetrailer posted the Azdel manufacturing process in an earlier post.
"
...
After the material exits the drying oven, and while it is still hot, it is run through a lamination phase that performs several functions including, reducing the thickness to improve the bonding of the resin and the glass fibers (wet-out,) and cooling the resin to lock the glass-fibers in place. Also at this time, any scrims, fabrics, or films that might be required for the specific application are added to the outer surfaces of the LWRT core material."
So it sounds to me like RV manufacturers obtain an Azdel panel complete with glossy surface coat. All they have to do is laminate it (melt, glue, somehow) to the foam/Al core? And on the interior surface they would use a different, plain Azdel panel?
