With more and more laminates entering the ukulele market, do we know much about their manufacture and how their "quality" is determined. Is it possible, that like fluorocarbon strings, there are only a few manufacturers that make HPLs that are of a quality that works well for ukes? Can they be quantified by process, thickness, glue, materials used?
Google has a lot of listings of companies wanting to sell laminates, but not of companies making them. Wikipedia under Decorative Laminates (which is where one ends up when searching HPLs) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorative_laminate#High_Pressure_Laminate lists seven companies that have trade names for the product.
