Stewmac, Lmii not have it. I need b/w 10/10, and b/w/b 10/10/10, 65” long. Not the tall stuff. Anybody have some or know where I can get? Mike I think it’s 0.06” tall |

Maybe Japarts? I recall seeing a rack of plastic purflings there. |

If you can't find it you can easily cut the taller stuff down on the bandsaw. |

I was told that COVID restrictions caused the apparently only company arround to go under. Was probably the same company both StewMac and LMII used. I got to looking arround, I can find no info on how the process is done. I found a leather belt strip cutter (rotary) that can go to 1/8" but that is 2 times as tall as is needed. I really am interested in how this is done. |

Gurian does wood Martin get it in sheets and slits their own they started selling out of gmc but it is hard to get anyone there I have some but it is hard to come by so understand you will have to make changes to your designs as to what is available. |
