Title: Different Color Phenolic

Does anyone know a source for some different color phenolics? I am looking for orange and haven't had any luck.

Thanks

You can make any color you want by laminating cotton cloth with bondo. Search "home grown mycarta" for a buildalong. I tried it and it works good. Also a lot cheaper.

Oh, forgot you can use cloth right in your laminated handle glue ups too, just put a few layers of cloth in, saturated with epoxy, I tried it with three layers burgundy cloth, got a nice stripe about 1/64 " thick. Good luck.
