Re: gEDA-user: [OT] MIT Flea
Is there a reason that this is being discussed in this
mailing list?
It is hard to keep up with all the mailing lists I subscribe to.
Stuff like this tends to push readers to remove themselves from the
list.
Can we keep the signal to noise down as much as possible?

Keep in mind that embedding the nuts in the concrete tunnel wall so that
they were in the correct spot to hang the panels from would be VERY
labor-intensive. What I really don't understand is why the
suspended panels needed to be concrete at all? Wouldn't something
much lighter like fiberglass work just as well?
The hell of it is, that if they had used the correct epoxy, the
"gluing" process would have been perfectly acceptable for this
application. The reason the panels were pulling out what that the
installer used the wrong epoxy, not because they were epoxied instead of
bolted.
