[QUOTE="jeephistorian, post: 350172, member: 22483"] Interesting. Thanks for clarifying the material normally used. I've used acrylic in many applications including a barrier that withstood substantial impacts without problems. So small an application might not be an issue so long as I am careful in my cutting and polishing to avoid a stress riser. It looks like Kydex is related to PVC plastics. I've used Sintra and Komadex before. Does anyone know if this might work? My experience with it has been very positive as far as shaping and thermo-molding is concerned, but I recall it being substantially less able to resist impact than acrylic. Again, thanks for the input! [/QUOTE]
