....but them maybe you don't know what fish paper is, so....

It is a strong, flexible, vulcanized fiber or paper

that black stuff that you shove the magnets through to wind your pic ups...
and as it comes in various colours and thicknesses ...

its the stuff they laminate into sheets and cut in to strips and sell to you dudes as purfeling.

and is the stuff often used to lamb up head stocks with.

Only me wansta make me own purfeling and head linings to match..so

anybody know were the Padma can buy Fish paper?

Ya me know, Shane sells black and white in limited thicknesses, but last time me ordered black and white sheets, he sent me white and black...no matter, me figured out how to make it work...but now me looking for other colours.


thanks

I know you probably want green, blue, yellow, red, and burgundy as well as black and white but all I have is white, black, burgundy, red, yellow, blue and green sheets. Wish I could be more helpful...

Something isn't right here. The real Padma would surely make his own fish paper out of cookout leftovers and shredded birch bark. We'd better contact Lance.

You can purchase it here for $ 9.25 (a lot less than LMI) for a 6 x 36 sheet. The page says 8 x 8 but I have confirmed the price is for 6 x 36 inches. http://www.waldronmusic.com/product_inf ... ts_id=1261

Tim McKnight has a killer deal; 6 sheets of 6" x 84" x .010" black fiber for $60 shipped to lower 48 in the classifieds.

viewtopic.php?f=10124&t=38521&p=505265&hilit=black+fiber#p505265

Anyone near Seattle want to go in on some? split 2 or 3 ways.

Anywhere a fella can get it wider than 6"? I use this as overlay material for armrest bevels and could easily get three times as many overlays from 8-9" wide material.
