Where to buy UHMW sheet??

[JTW]

UHMW Sheet Reprocessed | Buy Online at Curbell Plastics

Finally heard back from this company. Locations all over the USA. They don't have a retail storefront. But will allow pick up if your order is over $250.00

Lmao.. @Cuoutdoors made a one piece with a 5x10’. I wanna be like Dave when I grow up!

 

[Cuoutdoors]

Anyone around Gastonia, NC.??
I’ve found 5x10’ black 1/2” uhmw for $448 a sheet!! Shipping is estimated @ $160 to here. So I just figured I’d check and see.

That's cheap mine was $640

Yeah.. if I have to ship though we’re in the same boat. And I’ll have to if I want it before takeover.

Todd did a great job on his. After having mine in Arkansas I'll say 1 piece is definitely the way to go. There's no seams to snag and the bottom has a nice slight curve to it. I also let it hang out the sides 1 inch to act as a rub rail. It slides over everything extremely well! It's amazing.

Anything you’d do different?

Not much. I still need to drill a few drain holes for water. Other than that, I would've used a router and rounded over all the edges. The square edges are actually kind of sharp because the plastic is so damn hard.

Next time I have it off I will probably take the router to it. I think it would look a little nicer too.

That was my thoughts.. my machinest buddy suggested radius corners to help alleviate potential cracking

I found dragging a deburring tool or razor blade along the edge will clean up along any cut lines. Then go over it with a heat gun or torch and the edge will cool with a nice radius

I found a Unibit to be great for that. Mark your cut lines and drill out your corners with the unibit. It makes a nice radiused corner of any diameter you want and it gums up less than a hole saw because it only has 1 cutting edge. If you're sawing a very coarse blade is best

That’s a good idea... I was thinking router to get my corners but this will way be easier!

I got a 4 ft by 8 ft 1/4” for 50 dollars at our local Menards store. I am going to
Use factory skid for template and then bolt the one I make underneath factory one whic should give me a 1/2 “ skid plate. I am going to try using my jigsaw to cut it and see how that works out.

I’ve seen HDPE at Menards but not uhmw. I used the HDPE on my rear rack.

Menards does not sell UHMW.

HPDE specs are not as good as UHMW, but it will still surprise you how good it is for the money.

 

[Stevo]

You are right i got HDPE. Sorry for that. It seems like the same as what the stock honda skid plate
That came on the machine is made from but now not sure about that. Guess I will find out how it holds up.

 

[oldfortyfive]

You could also double it up.
