Canadian source for small .060 Kydex sheets

[IanC]

Not really sure where to post this so i came here.

Im looking for sheets of .060 kydex to make a holster for 6" barrel revovler.

I know warehouseplasitcs sells it but i really dont need a 4x8 ft piece.
They are rather expensive too.

Can anyone tell me where i would be able to get them in lets say 12x14"?
I would only really need two incase i screw up the first one.

Thanks
IanC

It is not a Canadian source but try www.knifekits.com/kk_1mainframe.htm about $12 a sheet, lots of different colors plus some specialized tools and pieces..

I have looked all over for small pieces and can't find any either. Epps used to sell it but they don't anymore.

If you are getting the textured black type and there are some others interested maybe we could spit a 4x8 sheet four ways.

Ok if you guys are interested in doing a group buy Heres where i found
it for $139 US for a 4x8" sheet.

Now I dont really have the cutting tools to make it into precise small sheets so someone else will have to do this.

With shipping it should be roughly 6 dollars per Sq ft. I need 4 Sqft myself.
Thanks

Not Canadian but they'll sell 12x12 sheets. There are 250 threads with the word Kydex on this board. Someone must have an answer for you.

I usually do but not this time.

PVC is cheap and pretty damn tough.

How about a 12x12 offcut of 1/8 black KYDEX for free from CANUS Plastics on Lisgar Street just East of Bank, in Ottawa?

Was there at 0800 and started joking with two guys having a smoke at the loading dock. One guy says, I'll let you in and we go through the warehouse around to the front. I described the project and we talked to the limit of my epoxy and fibreglass knowledge. I bought $35 worth of brown micro balloons and a pint of mold release, and asked about KYDEX. He sent the other fellow to the back and didn't charge me.

Yes they do mail order, but size and corners will be a problem. That stuff is sharp, and I don't know how they'd protect them from Canada Post.
