Duroplast is a composite thermosetting plastic, a close relative of formica and bakelite. It is a resin plastic reinforced with fibers (either cotton or wool) making it a fiber-reinforced plastic similar to glass-reinforced plastic.

However, its components are edible, and there are stories of pigs, sheep or other farm animals consuming duroplast

I like how they have specialist workers giving the cars the finishing touch, ensuring customer satisfaction.

I think that video shows a great deal of skill. I enjoy watching the concentration and fluidity of movement it's impressive.

Kind of reminds me of that Hands programme on RTE.

That is so true, I know people who had a Trabant in the farm. When they would leave the car in the farm and when they would come back they would see half of the panel gone (eaten by pigs) :eek::D

I hope some of you here enjoy Perlenbacher Beer from LiDL because the lads that lost their job on that assembly line went straight to work across the road in the brewery.
