Title: Looking for Lexan / Polycarbonate smoked 0,5mm
Post by: tica on January 01, 2020, 04:37:28 pm

Hi there
Working on refurbishing a couple of model boats, and I need some thin 0,5-0,75mm smoked Lexan / Polycarbonate sheets. I have not been able to locate it in Denmark, and had no luck finding a source via. google, so if any one has a advice or a link it's appreciated.
RegardsCarsten

Hi
I've used Tamiya smoke paint on some of my r/c car clear windscreens and it works really well.
