Has anyone ever used   HDPE  as a tip overlay material?

I need to replace some overlays and have access to this and wondered if it would work.  Can get it in various thicknesses from .060" up to .250" in sheet form

Tried it once...

Not hard enough....

Troy

I experimented with it once for an accent strip (.060) in a kids bow and it didn't hold, the smooth-on did not stick. Using a razor knife blade I was able to peel the limb apart. I sanded both sides with 60 grit paper before glu-up. For tip overlays Troy nailed it.
