Paxolin wanted

SilentWings · 16-08-2007

Guys (and girls!), does anyone know a good source for small quantities of paxolin?.

I'm looking for 1mm thick stuff - about 200mm2 or thereabouts

Thanks in advance.

It looks quite interesting.

Cheers John, it didn't occur to me to look for this material under a different brand name ('Tufnol', 'Bakelite' e.t.c).

Apart from the fact this firm sells small quantities which is always good news for us modellers - the prices are pretty keen too so you get a big thanks from me and from my wallet!.

You're welcome, i had a suspicion Maplin sold it, and was therefore pleasantly surprised at the prices quoted on that site.

When I searched on Google for 'Paxolin' John, Maplin was the only link I could find but then when I visited their site they had none. Certainly got a bargain dealing with that direct plastics firm...thanks again.

Do not breathe in the dust,it is very dangerous,classed as hazardous material.

Just "Googled" this and can't seem to find anything in the way of H&S info concerning paxolin - always better to play safe though so thanks for the warning Barry, I'll trust in your knowledge of the stuff and wear a mask
