Peel ply g10

[Matt Rochester]

Do I just profile, peel off the top layer, and round the edges? Anyone used this before?

 

[ciulkwens]

yes, it works like that.
but you have to be careful while peeling to remove whole layer once,
when you brake it, it is hard to start again and remove it clean widhout damaging layers beneath

Is it just one layer?

hi matt, I just used some 1/4" PeelPly G10 from usaknifemaker.com

it was really easy to work with, the outer/shiny layer is what you peel off.

the hardest part of peeling it is getting it started, once you have enough to grab it comes off pretty easy.

here is my Brian Breeden Potbelly Chopper with the handles replaced.

hope this helped.

Thanks. Looks like I will need some different fasteners as I only have corby bolts. Looks good.

What's the advantage over regular g-10?

 

[Matt Rochester]

It has a course texture.

Like Adrenaline shows in the pics above. :thumbup:
Just be sure to peel the protective layer off before grinding it to shape/contour, or you may find the little bits of the outer layer around the "edges" become a real pain to get off/out between the checkered pattern underneath. Don't ask me how I know
