uhmw suppliers?

BUILTnotBOT · Feb 27, 2013

anybody purchased any locally for a reasonable price? Or know of the places around that stock it and could give quotes on some?

Im just about finished with the skidplate on the Jeep and would be nice to have a sheet of uhmw to be the icing on the cake.

looking for a 4'x4' sheet of 1/2" or thicker is okay.

any help is much appreciated.

Curbell plastics in Fife over by Sportco they are a supplier and I beleive they supply to Keltec plastics. Also try ultra poly down in the nalley valley of Tacoma not sure if you can buy it there or they are just a manufacturer

The one in nalley valley sells to the public. I bought some plastic a couple years ago to build a bushing for a custom steering column in my 53. They have a cool "scrap" area that you can rummage around in, and they just sell it at scrap weight prices, kinda like the metal yards.
