I still miss bakelite.
Will this new plastic leapfrog graphene?

Will this new plastic leapfrog graphene?

Maybe since graphene hasn't went anywhere yet.

I still use Bakelite. The Micarta brand is most prevalent. I just bought five 12" X 24" X .125" sheets of "black phenolic paper". These became the front panels of prototype instruments.

It machines well. Clean holes and clean cuts. Use masking tape front and rear to prevent chipping at the cut. I'm very fond of it.

"ePlastics" is my source.
