Doc Nemo Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi! Where does everyone order their polycarbonate for custom crankbait bills? What thickness do you all find works best? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 My local Lowes has started carrying it. If not find a glass shop. You want .060 which is 1/16 th. Make sure it has a plastic coating on it to protect it from scratching. Plus you can draw on it to lay out your lips. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 McMaster Carr is where I end up ordering some typically (along with other odds and ends). A 12 x 12 sheet of 1/16th with run just under 5 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastman03 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I'll third that! My local glass shop let me come take a look and gave me all sorts of pieces of polycarbonate. In return I made them a larger lure for display with their company name on it, just for fun. They were so pumped, I have basically an unlimited source for lip material now! Another spot I have got some from is a plastic's distributor. They had a bunch of cut offs that they let me buy for cheap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrybait Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I don't know how National it is but here on the West Coast, USA we hve TAP PLASTICS which sells plexiglass and polycarbonate sheets and all sorts of epoxies. They have a bunch of left over pieces that they sell very reasonably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
