  I think this is possible & is my thinking. When panel=

 bent up a bit by the panel compression & the rib wanting to pull=
 it back down creates continual static & dynamic reactive force.=
 Perhaps some of this is healthy & building boards  attempring to=

 I've been logging all the data per given board to keep track of=
 the design parameters & then draw a conclusion based on the=

 Rib tapering etc.
 I installed the Mason board with cut-off, fish and altered rib=

 the tight bond surely isn't thoroughly cured. This is not=
