RICHLITE is a Phenolic-Resin-Based Product

Developed during WWII for the Department of Defense (then, I think it was the War Department), to make Drop Boxes to parachute-drop rifles and ammunition to Partizans fighting behind Nazi lines. Waterproof and shockproof were the design criteria.

And yes, Richlite is very tough on cutting tools.

And the epoxy recommended today is... pricey.

So, IMHO, if Sequerra was not using Richlite, he was using a me-too product.

Fern & Roby uses Richlite for the front panel of one of their loudspeakers.

I have used it in four or five prototypes, maybe more.
