After my own recent experience, and talking to several other kiters, delamination of boards seems to be more of an issue than I would have expected. So, curious how much of a problem, I made a survey.
It's here https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6DLYJCB
Takes less than a minute to complete.
So, if your board has or hasn't delaminated, have a look please.

Re: Delamination Survey
Lots of replies up already!
Course, getting to a statistically significant number might take a while.

Re: Delamination Survey
Still getting replies on this, but it's tailing off so I thought it might be an idea to bump it back towards the top.
Interesting results so far!

Re: Delamination Survey
Delamination is due to companies cracking out boards without an understanding of basic materials engineering, it's nothing new. Probably don' t want to pay real engineers/ good factories and they just cross their fingers.

Re: Delamination Survey
OP I hope you will post the results. It would be interesting to see how much use the boards see as well.

Re: Delamination Survey
I have a number of boards and I tried to do the survey more than once but that seems problematic..
