I didn't say I haven't heard of it.

I don't know its density and strength relative to Corion or other molded
plastic flat stock.

I'm surprised you've never heard of it - it's used on fiberglass boats
for cabinet/storage/baitwell covers/doors and is the stuff used in
electronic boxes.

It's dense. I have a piece of 1" left over from a friends boat
project. Just for giggles, I sawed off a odd angled corner off and
shot it with a .32 Police Special - stopped the bullet cold.

Won't stop anything bigger though. :)

On both my boats, StarBoard is used in a ton of different places - all
the Ranger hatches are made out of the stuff. I'm a big guy and when
I stand on the front casting platform, no flex, no nothing.
