Century made a big deal out of it but in reality everyone using the material has to do it to get the materials to bond

"They have to have"...????
Pure speculation on your part.
"Everyone who is using the 3M technology is autoclaving."
God , that's even more speculative than your first statement.
I'm a big fan of some of the Lami's. I recommended many , many 1205's and 1322's but I also steered many away from some of the lighter XRA's and I never recommended an SSU to anybody.
Speculation is nice but facts are far more valuable.
But anyway , I do hope that their new line of rods is made using high volume fractions of nanoparticles in their resins and that they are autoclaving them. I hope they are not using some low volume fraction resin and hoping the shrinkage of the wrappers will provide the nescessary pressure to properly cure them. The more good quality , high performance blanks on the market , the better for the people building them and fishing with them.
