I just love watching other people's experiments! I'm still wondering about the template material? Is it paper? Something more substantial? Is it durable enough for mock up road/tuft testing?
I sent the pics to a friend that's one of those aeronautical engineers, so I'm going to see what he thinks.

The template material is made of made of thick paper. I think its used for scrape booking. But to answer your question no it wouldn't survive a tuft test.
