Hi Guys:

I'm working on a project where I'm using small electrical insulators
that are under high tension. I'm using Garolite G-9 now, but I am
getting dangerously close to its ultimate strength. Is there an
insulating material that has superior tensile properties to Garlolite
that doesn't cost a fortune? Preferably it would be readily available
and machinable. The voltage is very low (< 3V).

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Why not drill it and use it in compression instead?
