Post subject:  Sign Material in Guitars?

Some time ago I bookmarked this site: http://www.ezgrav.com/products.htm and now I can't remember exactly why. I know that there was some discussion here about using the product in guitars - I'm guessing for purfling. Can anyone enlighten me on how they are using sign materials in their guitars?

Thanks,
Pat

Purfling material.

Thanks Mario. That's what I figured but I wanted confirmation before I ordered some. Looks like a good solution in terms of having a lot of colour combinations. Do you know if there's anything special about working with this stuff e.g. what glues are good to use with it?

Hi Pat,

I have bought from Leathertone before. I have ordered their ABS material.
I use the glue in the blue tubes from LMI.

I like being able to order four ply material like black/white/black /white .020 each ply.

You can specify any thickness and combination-you just have to order a whole sheet of each.

Then I rip them up on the table saw. (really cheap compared to buying individual strips retail).

I have noticed that the white material gets UV degredation after a while.
