Nope. Only the so-called 41-ply built from, what, the early 1950s? The
process used to make these was derived from a material called ComPreg
developed during WWII for use as engine mounts in mine-sweepers. Wood
based--hence non-magnetic--and impervious to heat, cold, wet, dry and
anything in between. Check the archives if you're interested, I've written
on this before.
