Anyone know of a source for G10 epoxy glass (or something similar)?

[fredrussell]

I need a smallish piece of tough plastic for a project. Ideally 8mm thick or thereabouts. I've googled it but mostly it gives suppliers to industry. I only need 300mm x 100mm so don't want to buy a big sheet if possible. Hobby suppliers turned up by google seem to offer smaller sheets but only up to 6mm thick.



If anyone knows where I might find some I'd be very grateful, or if someone knows of an easier to find material with similar toughness please let me know.

G10 is an electronics grade of epoxy-glass laminate.
Not generally found 8mm thick.

Would Tufnol be suitable, strong, easy to work, available in a huge range of sizes and thicknesses, not too expensive.

I've used direct plastics a number of times and found they cover a wide range with sizes that suit

Ah, Tufnol - had forgotten about that. Just ordered some, many thanks.
