Flexxbed Question
Posted by bob@osd on Sunday, July 18, 2010 12:10 PM

Since matter is neither created or destroyed, does curving Flexxbed cause it to be thinner on one side from the other, causing a negative superelevation condition? I've used cork and homasote, but this looks almost too good to be true.            Bob T

No,

Think of it as sponge material.  It isn't quite but for an average curve the material will become denser on the inside but the height holds.  If it does change I haven't noticed it.
