A few years ago FT had a good post that included a link for a place that had sled making sheet material. At the time the place listed odds and ends type sizes for sale which is what I'm looking for. Does anyone remember the place, or have a good source for polymer sheets?

I thought I remember seeing the different sizes listed at different locations down here. May have been one in Fairbanks too.

If you are talking about UHMW bed plastic, I have purchased it on occasion from Fairbanks Paint and Glass. Haven't bought any in about 6 years though. Also, Coldspot Feeds used to sell it too.

Alaska Rubber and Rigging has UHMW.


I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

This place has shapes and stuff you didn't know that you need.

Thanks much all!
The place I was thinking of listed miss cuts and remnants then listed the location. I thought one location might have been in the Dakotas.

I think this is the place that has a location in Kent WA, I checked recently and they had 3/16 (maybe it was 1/4), a 10'x4' sheet of the green recycled material was about $220 per piece.
