Anytime Rand or one of the cast members hold a cuendillar seal, they comment that it is much heavier than it looks, and it tends to weigh down the pouch Moiraine carried one in during the first part of the series IIRC.
Im picturing the seals being roughly the size and weight of maybe a stone coaster (the thing you put a drink on so it dosnt leave rings on your tables) I would imagine that they are heavier than they look, as they seem to look like porcelin. They may retain the original weight of the iron it is made of... Solid iron is fairly hefty. Even so, the shields could be made my foil thick iron which would be a good deal lighter than any other material... As for armor plating it would be wonderful... although imagine if some of the black sisters who escaped were able to make cuendillar, we could see cuendillar armored trollocs...

I'm still not sure if cuendillar would be "destroyed" or "remain"

No - cuendillar just gets stronger the more powerful a force you use against it

Not sure, but the discussion might be saved somewhere (maybe in my e-mail somehow)

Create a ter'angreal that can open gateways wherever it is pointed and triggered.

Or they could just tie the gateway weave off, like Sammael did in CoS, and Rand did in KoD...

Why would this mean that the gateway weave doesn't need to be maintained? *NM*

Because even if it wasn't tied off, it'd get stuck around the cuendillar doorway, unable to close. *NM*

But RJ said that cuendillar could not pass into a gateway, didn't he?
