<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 4656159, member: 105098&quot;]I&#039;m in the camp of missing clad layer Reverse. Although, The lighting doesn&#039;t show the color difference that much, there seems to be a noticibly more &quot;red&quot; tinge to the reverse.</p><p>It should weigh 8.1 grams if it&#039;s intact.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m seeing that, if the clad layer on one side is missing, it&#039;s should weigh about 6.0 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>Weight isn&#039;t a guarantee though because the bonding process happens before rolling it to thickness, and if the sheet is missing a section of cladding before it&#039;s rolled out , it will be close to similar weight and of proper thickness. let&#039;s say the sheet wasn&#039;t lined up right and missing cladding on the tail portion, and nobody notices, puts it through the rollers to get it to spec thickness, it will still be close to the proper weight also.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the cladding falls off after the strike or unbonds, the design would be blurry/mushy.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if it comes off after it&#039;s been rolled out, but before it was struck, it will be lighter, deformed around the edge,rim, much like i&#039;m seeing here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Weight in grams should tell you what you have. and if it&#039;s missing roughly 2 grams of cladding, it will sound different than ones that aren&#039;t missing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
