Hey, I'd like to get a couple 12 x 12's of this. Also, If you can get a spec on on it, we may be able to utilize this at work......

Sent you a pm....

Would this kydex be easier/better than lexan to make battery trays out of? I have tried a few times to make the trays out of lexan and it worked ok, but the lexan does not bend too easily, even with heat. Do you glue the sides where thay meet up?

RCHippie, I appreciate all the info and the offer. I probably will take you up on the offer...I just don't have some of the tools & materials required for a clean finish (i.e., specifically the band saw and aluminum end caps). I did send Mike an email asking if he could make me a battery tray but he hasn't answered back yet. I also asked him about some other odds and ends awhile back and haven't had any luck with those either.
