Its a hard plastic for want of a better description. Mostly used for kitchen worktops, the Americans call it "solid surface material". Generally comes in 12mm sheets and is bonded with a colour matched epoxy, can be worked with woodworking power tools like a router but also mills well, can also be thermo formed into curves. The lid on this box I made by heating and then vacuum pressing over a former having first used a router to thin it from 12mm at the hinge down to 6mm at the front. Also makes a good former for flanging over. This is something else I did in conjunction with teh corian fabricator I use I've got quite a few old discontinued samples which are 50x50x12, you are welcome to some. PM me where to send it |

That's some neat stuff Jason. Had to look up the pump you have... I do a lot of vacuum bagging of CF. Tired of my vacuum pumps. What else you hiding?? Rob... After you do the Hit or Miss, then you will do a radial?? |
| Jasonb:
This could be a nice radial project for you Rob, would make a good blower for the new furnace :bugeye: J |
