G10 Liners...or Delrin?

[nateman_doo]

If you are just using it as a liner to go next to steel, and covering with a harder material... why not right?

Thoughts?

Because you can't bond to Delrin very well.

You do see it used as a molded handle material on some kitchen knives because it is a dishwasher safe polymer, but it is over-molded or riveted.

so you don't think a 1/16" thick (rough sand blasted) wouldn't bond to resin to well?

All of the acetals I've worked with suck at bonding. Plus, why? Limited colors available, can't believe it's much less expensive than G10 in liner thickness.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. It won't.

Where do you guys order it from?

I order G10 liners from Jantz Supply because that's usually where I order from. But AKS, USA KM, and Texas KM should all have them too.
