This is regardless of the superduper trade names and the claims each is better than the rest.  Could you please edify us, or at least me with the slinny on urethane.

Actually, I wouldn't even if I could, which I can't. I'm not purposefully being difficult about it, it's just that it woudn't be my place to share that specific information
if I did have it. It might fall in the category of one of Lee's trade secrets. But he'll have to continue this thread himself, if it is to continue in that vein.......

But I do know that not all urethane of a given durometer is  created equally. And that is a nice catalog from an interesting company. I got it for a  friend who was interested in bending flat bracelets. Then I called Lee to mention it, and he said he had gotten urethane from them at one time. None of what I know is anything I feel needs to be withheld, but that's all I'm saying anyway.  It's up to The Wiz to elaborate, or not.
