I scored a bunch of material that appears to be phenolitic board. It is from a bunch of materials that were used by an old time ham radio guy. It is like big pieces of perf board material but thicker and darker color. Some is 1/4" thick and brick red on the face and deep mahogany color on the side. The face of it is smooth as glass. If you look at in the light, just right, there appears to be a weave pattern imbedded in the material. An edge on one board is chipped and it came off in layers. Some other 1" blocks and slabs are a very deep maroon color with the imbedded weave under the gloss surface. It can be drilled and machined. It is very dense and hard, almost like aluminum.

Phenollytic?? Use it for spacers between the carb and jug? How about machining an intake mainifold from it? If it is phenolitic board, is there any dangers with sanding dust, asbestos or other nasties?
