Thread: Plastic slide material

Hi,
I was thinking of using the plastic garden edging.
It comes in rolls of about 15m and should be able to be cut into strips on a bench saw.
cheers

Go the Teflon stuff Baz.....

Its 30mm x 15 mm

If you want some mate, just let me know and I will post you some.

Or UHDPE (ultra high density poly ethylene) will work well.

If you have any industrial plastics suppliers close to you, a Cadillac Plastics product called Tivar 88 or similar works well.

Winner!!!!

To be exact its UHMWPE... A white, self lubricating High Molecular Weight Polyethylene

PTFE (Teflon) is no good as it suffers from cold flow, tears easily if caught and is mucho pricey by comparison.

How much do you need? And what dimensions are you after?

My mate owns Transeals, and he's about to ship me a pile of it for my boat trailer... I can always get some more

High Mike, thanks mate, seeing as i'll be in Vic in a couple of weeks, I'll take up their offer first, thanks very much for the offer, all this is adding up mate




Bloody champions, I love how this place works

I'm using for 2 jobs on the tailgate kitchen in my camper, one so it slides easy on the camper floor and 2 as a brace to take load of the rear door when the camper is moving behind the car, at the moment I have some hardwood doing the job and it's wearing away.

Baz.

No probs Baz,

Its here when you want it mate.

More than welcome to drop in, I could show you how they do similar on the kitchen in the Camel.

Or if its outta the way I will just meet up with you some where mate, its all good.



Where abouts is Firth Park??

Hang on, the penny has just dropped, your camping over at Blackwood for the big get together....dont know what planet i've been on, I had forgotten all about it. I should add my name to list, and come over Friday night with the camper. I had put aside the Sunday for Wandin show aswell.
