Can anyone help me source the plastic material they make the cockpit tables and Hunter chopping board/sink covers out of?
I want to make an additional cockpit table, and would like it to match the existing one. HDPE sheet is like nylon, and doesn't match in colour.
I am in the UK, but a lead on the material will enable me to source what I need.
Thanks.
Neil

Take note that Starboard XL is lighter but it has tiny microscopic voids that make the cut edge a bit rough. The regular Starboard is denser and you can get a smoother edge finish.

Thanks for the input.....HDPE only comes in its natural colour in "white", which is a bit like natural nylon colour.
The stuff is called Starboard made by King:

Sounds like you already have this sorted, but for anyone else who is looking, HDPE comes in many colours but may well not be stocked in said colours. When it is extruded, they need a big run so a colour may not be available in small quantities. We use black HDPE all the time. One point is that the stuff you want to use would be "stress relieved" as the standard material is not very flat after extrusion....commonly used as puck board around arena ice.
