Black Pickguard Material

[robd]

I need a small piece of pick guard material to make an access cover ... 3" x 7" to be exact.

Was wondering if anyone might have a scrap around your shop somewhere that you would like to pass on ? Don't really want to buy a huge sheet when I would have no use for most of it.

thanks for looking

I've read that some people have cut pieces out of rubbermaid, or similar brand, storage containers for access covers when in a pinch.

If you have a Hobby Lobby or a real hobby shop around, they usually have sheet plastic in sheets dirt cheap. The brand name is Evergreen and is usually somewhere near the plastic models at HL.

Michael's might have it too. I've never looked for it there, but HL is closer to me anyway. Both will have thin balsa wood with might make a good cover too.

PM me if you dont find what you need there. I might be able to scrounge up a piece of sheet plastic depending on size needed.

If these other ideas don't work out, speak up. I've got bin boxes of scraps of cut off vinyl pickguard material. Plenty of solid black. I'll mail you a piece, no charge.

a friend of mine made a pickguard out of a piece of clipboard plastic, i'm sure it'd work for an access cover.
