Title: Phenolic source
Post by: K. Mogensen on October 13, 2018, 10:54:45 PM

Does anyone know where a person could get a big enough piece of Phenolic for a riser block?

Worst case scenario I know I could laminate multiple thin pieces together, but it seems like someone has to have some bigger pieces somewhere.

Thanks.

You could get some casting epoxy+colorant and make exactly what you want
