I need a piece of scrap starboard, less than one sq ft 1/4 inch thick. Does anyone know where I can get some?

Thanks
Tom

Tom,
I have a piece of Black 1/2" starboard if you want it.

Hey Mark,

Thanks!! I have in mind a piece of white 1/4 inch but I can make that work. I'll give you a call.

I went through the same search here in the mountains and could never find any. I ended up ordering a piece from a guy in Florida. He was cheap, shipped it the same day and I had it in three days. Don't get scared away because he is in Marathon. By the time you look around locally for a week this guy will have you a piece at your doorstep for about $25.

John Arbuckle is the guys name and he will cut you a piece the size you want. By the way, he has heard all the "Garfield" jokes.

Peidmont Plastics in Raleigh or Brown at finaddict in benson may home some scrap.

Call Browne @ FinAddict - he can hook you up.

I went to the garage and looked. I have a small piece of 1/4 inch white left over. How much do you need?

Hey bro, what are you going to use the starboard for? Just in case I ever get out with you again, I'd like to know what's been "fixed" lately. chip.

Tom,
Glad you got what you needed. I have a couple small pieces if you need more. I owe you for those wonderful grits.

The SEARCH feature works after all!!

I need a piece of 1/4" white, 12" by 8". I will be happy to pay you for it.

Anybody got a piece that size laying around?

Thanks guys!

Thubert: try AK McCallum's in Fayetteville. They've got some scrap pieces for sale, in a large range of thicknesses.

That wouldn't work, he'd have to drive too far.

(Tom actually works about a mile from AK McC's)

Happy new year.

Happy New Year to you as well!

FWIW - I found some at a local Storm Shield Hurricane Shutter builder. Not sure it's starboard, but looks just like it. They would give ya smaller scraps and charge very little for larger pieces.

Tom,
I have a small piece, what size piece do you need. I still owe you for those wonderful grits!!!

I'm good, I think Hot Spot needs a piece though.

HOTSPOT · 12-28-2005, 06:09 PM

Yes I do!!! 12" by 8" 1/4" thick white.
