    Phenolic?

    Does anybody have an idea where I might go locally to find a source of Phenolic?

    If I have to resort to purchasing online where would I go?

    Thanks

    Specifically, which/what "Phenolic" are you referring to?

      good question. I am looking for some plastic/phenolic 1/4" thick should do, for some jig parts. It needs to be stong/thick enough to withstand the torquing of bolts without breaking or warping.

            try US plastics. I bought some rod from them. But as mentioned, the price can be up there, especially for the G-10 stuff

            If at first you don't succeed, deny you were trying in the first place.

              There was a place I found that was near Baseline and 48th St in Phx. They would rather sell full sheets of stuff but had scrap sizes they would sell me. It wasnt phenolic though they did have it available. It was expensive stuff.

              Walk the yellow pages for plastics and look for one in that area. I can't remember the name.

                    you can also try www.mcmaster.com but they aren't known for being cheap either.
