Does anybody have any contacts that can help me get .080 ABS that is smooth without haircell? It would be nice if it was white but, black or gray would also work.

Thanks,
Bill

Multi-Craft sells black and natural (whatever color that is ??) smooth on both sides. Sadly no 2side smooth white Crying or Very sad Not sure of cost or shipping.
Depending on where you are located, you could probably find someone closer (unless you live in the Portland Oregon area)

My apologies,
There website lists ABS black and natural, smooth on both sides, i guess the thickness was not listed. I buy my HIPS from them, but have never looked into the ABS.....sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase.

No problem CJ. Thank you for trying to help. I would think it should not be that hard to find.

Try either Sabic Polymershapes (formerly GE Polymershapes)
http://www.geplastics.com

Professional Plastics
http://www.professionalplastics.com/PLASTICSHEETS (Their website selection tool doesn't seem to be working, so give them a call instead).

Be sure to emphasize smooth/smooth, otherwise they will send you smooth/haircell. And if they do send you smooth/haircell, call them back and complain that they sent you the wrong stuff. I got a ton of free plastic because they did not send the right stuff, and didn't want it back!

i've had that happen to me before. i order 0.060 in HIPS, they send me .128 in ABS haircell, and 3 weeks later, some HIPS.

i will have to keep this in mind... Smile
