Not pulled together - crushed, compressed, deformed, compacted. Very simple. <a href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives"></a> </blockquote> So... lets  see here... they are pulled together to the same degree... but because they are compressed (as in severly) to begin with, this results in cells that take up even less space then they did when the panel was origionally dried out. Ok... Guess I'm getting hung up on why and how  the compressed, crushed, weakened ?? cells still have the "strength",  as it were to shrink in. I mean ok.. I see it in front of my eyes... tho I dont really understand the mechanism fully. RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
