Here is how you source this stuff easily: Go to WalMart... or your local grocerystore... or the dollar store. Find cutting boards. That's the white ones.--------Brad "DOMIT" SmithFirst rule of ground school: This is the ground... don't hit it going fast.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Nothing sticks to polyethylene, disirregardless of its molecular weight.Try stapling or screwing it down, or just use leather like most Pietenpolsdo.Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Raleigh, NC-----Original Message-----

I started building this fall and have the ribs almost done (5 left) and finishedrabbetting the wood for the tail-section this past weekend. I've been a bitworried about welding and the metal parts since I've no real experience in this.My wife showed me a flyer for a community-ed class called "Intro to Welding".Figured it would be something to at least try. Last evening I went to thefirst class and struck up a conversation with the instructor, a professionalblacksmith who works out of his own shop. I could hardly believe it when Ifound out he lives a block away and I've been passing his house every day forthe last 3 years without knowing. I can hardly believe my luck--I will only haveto walk down the street to get help with the metal fittings!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: definition of UHMW for Ray

UHMW polyethylene is used in total knee and hip replacements. I've put a bit ofthose parts together over the last few years.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Thanks! When I use it, I will keep some for my hip replacement. What tolerances do I need to meet for that?Ray Krause----- Original Message -----
