Best Guess Here.
I needed to know the same a while ago. I looked at some cardstock my wife was making B-day cards out of and the only info I could see was the number 110. I know it cannot be .110
so it must be .0110 which seems about right as a best guess . James Pierson NAR# 77907 |

Actually, no... Quote:
That paper is called "index", and it's base size sheet is 25.5" x 30.5". So, 500 sheets of this is a ream, and it weighs 110 pounds.

Card stock vs. fiber board
Quote:
I *did* figure out that Carl's 2-ply(?) fiber rings are 1/20" (0.05") thick, which is *way* heavier than 110 lb. card stock. I may have to slip down to Lowe's and get that $30 dial caliper next week, after all. Cheers,

Maybe you can save another couple bucks?

Jay, I just stopped at Menards a couple days ago and picked up a really nice digital caliper for just this sort of activity...only $24, and a great little tool. Dunno if Menards is out there by you, but if so, a nice price on a great device.

For medium sized rockets, I make transitions out of lightweight cardstock - like a manilla folder. After gluing up and attaching to project I will fill in with wood filler. Depending on whether it needs any structural strength, after it is affixed to the project, I will sometimes cover it with .75 oz Fiberglass and Epoxy. You can do the FG lamination before assembly, too. Gooped on Kilz primer can cover any finishing sins.
For HPR, I use 1/64 ply, built over underlying stringers, then always FG/Epoxy covering. |
