[TheForge] plastic forge?

[terry l. ridder]

hello peter;

i tend to agree with you. my hoax sensor is on high. any material is
defined by its atomic structure. diamond is the hardest material know to
man because of the carbon atom bonding so tightly to the neighboring
carbon atoms.

alloys get their properties from the crystaline structure which is
defined by the atomic bonds of the metals and other additives to the
alloy.

most orgranic compounds have a low melting point and ignition point.
most inorganic compounds have a high melting point and ignition point.

i am having trouble with this material being a plastic and having the
alledged properties.
