[Public-List] track car slides

[George Dinwiddie]

Delrin is a DuPont trade name for an acetal plastic 
(http://plastics.dupont.com/myplastics/Mediator?id=30).  King plastics 
is coy about what sort of polymer is used for StarBoard 
(http://www.kingstarboard.com/products/StarBoard.aspx), but I believe 
it's probably a high density polyethylene.  Walmart doesn't seem to have 
plastic cutting boards on their web site, so I can't tell what they're 
made of.  I would guess high density polyethylene, as polypropylene 
won't hold up as well.

You can find StarBoard and generic HDPE in a variety of sizes and shapes 
on eBay.
