Plastic Sheets

[robnix]

I'm looking for 8.5x11 plastic sheets. They need to be the thickness and have the rigidity of those bubble wrap packages you get your electronics in now.

Thanks.

look for overhead projector sheets. They are thick, and 81/2 X 11. I have some somewhere, but would not even begin to know where to look.

Thanks, I will. I went by a craft store, and a paper store, but haven't found anything that was as thin and as sturdy yet.

I've got some hole punches I could make some nifty trigger shims with. I'd like to try plastic to see if I can make something that's thin and durable, but won't scratch the trigger or rail like metal shims might.

looks like you can get them at office max

Tried something like that tonight. It's some of the thinest packaging I've seen, but just a hair too thick.

few ideas...

you got the plastic from a blister packed item and it didnt work? i've used that on both sides of my intelliframe i think...but ok.

thinner, rigid and durable is film... use an old roll, or buy a cheap new one... pop the end of the case off and use what you need... layer to add thickness. you can use the ends of the developed negatives they give you back when you process film too.

plastic water bottle wall... so long as you can find a flat bit.'

Suprisingly it was a bit thick, film is a great idea though, I think we have some old rolls laying around.

Update: Teflon tape on your trigger is a fantastic fix for trigger slop.
