>>Anyone care to dissent from substitution of fiberglass for either
copper or
galvanized, in reproducing a lost cornice from a 1910s-1920s building?<<
Well, would you rather support the traditional metal-working trades and
crafts for today and into the future, or would you rather give the work
away to the plastics industry? Oh yeah, plastic moulding IS the NEW
traditional craft--like black is the new white.
For the entire 20th century the building industry was sastified with a
10% profit margin for buildings made of wood, stone and metal that would
last a century. Now they want and get 23% profit for buildings that last
27 years. How do they do that? They build out of cardboard and plastic.
