How many woodworkers could use small pieces of Formica if they were available?
 

Sorry if this double posts, guys - it looks like the original
disappeared.

Hi,

I have a store on ebay that sells offcuts of UHMW, Delrin, teflon and
various Nylons.

I'm not going to spam you with a link, I'm doing research (But the ID
on ebay is surplusdealdude, if you wanna look ;-) )

Anyways, a gentleman over opn re.crafts.metalworking suggested that
people were looking for a source of Formica. He thinks that it's
tough to get small pieces.

So I thought I'd ask around and see if this is something I should be
stocking. I may have a source available that could provide some nice
pieces (we'd be talking 15" x 24, maybe.

Any suggestions as to price, etc, would be welcome.

All of this stuff is useful to me, at one time or another.

Any suggestions as to price, etc, would be welcome.

As low as possible. G

Plastic laminates are useful however if you simply know where to buy, it is
pretty reasonably priced.
I typically pay about $32 for a 24 sq foot sheet. Yes that is a lot but I
can buy slightly damaged sheets that can yield 95% undamaged for 25-35 cents
per sq. foot.
Either way, you should give it a try and buy the damaged stuff to cut up
into smaller pieces. Many people do not have easy access to a supplier
unless they live in a city.
