In Response To: Material: Small quantity HDPE source? (Troy)

: I'm building a Yost-style strongback this weekend, which will only require a
: couple square feet of HDPE. I'd just as soon not buy a 4'x8' sheet.

: Where can I buy HDPE in small quantities? I figured I could grab a couple
: cutting boards at Target and chop 'em up, but that may not be the best way
: to go.

: Thanks,

If you're using the pieces just for the pieces that hold the keel, doesn't have to be HDPE, Tom uses it because he's got alot of it. I use plywood, does the same thing.
