Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Hello Maybach ... if you are looking for sheet plastic. Plastruct or Evergreen make sheet plastic in various thicknesses as well as rods, strips, and other shapes. G10 as far as Im aware was designed for the firearms/knife market as a good non slip grip material. I am quite familar with firearms. Thats how i know about G10.

krow113 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Ask yourself how much strength the finished item will need, that helps to determine materials choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybach_man Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks all.... i have plenty of the Evergreen type sheets, but they are quite flexable...... G10 seems to be used by RC modellers in the us as far as i can see...although it seems to be quite expensive at about £12 for a 12" x 9"sheet...
