BobP Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I have a friend who wants some shallow crankbaits with PCB or Micarta lips to get the thinnest most deflective lip possible. I usually build with Lexan. I can't find a commercial source for either PCB or Micarta via a Google search. I don't live behind an electronics factory or a knife factory either Does anyone know a good source for either material? I'm talking small batch order - maybe enough for a couple of dozen baits. Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banjoman Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Bob Try googleing "knife making supplies" for example http://www.alphaknifesupply.com/micarta.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBait Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 http://store.yahoo.com/ecomplastics/epglasmicnem.html I believe the epoxy glass green stuff is what you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Mitchell Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 BobP, I have purchased some at a place in TN called World of Plastic. I think that they stores in several different locations. Do not know about your location. If you will email me I probably would have enough to do a few baits.

BobP Posted December 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Guys, thanks for the leads. While Googling circuit board and micarta, I was frustrated that most sources were only selling industrial quantities, or at larger panels of material. BUT I ran into an amateur rocketry site that sells G10 (fiberglass matrix with epoxy bonding) in smaller quantities with decent prices. They even had sheets less than 1/16" thick (what I was looking for). www.asp-rocketry.com/buildingmaterials.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Mitchell Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 BobP, What was the site that you found that sole the G10? Charlie M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
