Ahh ok thanks for that - actually I am down there every couple of weeks to the airport (I have a fly in fly out son from WA)

Many thanks

The stuff to ask for is Acetal, they will only sell it in 4mtr lengths, but will cut it in half to fit in the car

Mind you, I have accumulated a fair bit over the years and still have at least 2x1ft of each 12/16/20/25/30/40 rods

This place lists acetal rod in various lengths and dia. I'm not sure how competitive they are but they're just down the road from me (they're at Molendinar/Ernest) so they may be cheaper for me if they allow pickup.

A quick google search suggests there are several places in Melbourne that sell the stuff.

Dropped in here today and picked up a 700mm of 25mm dia for $10. Originally Posted by dabbler

They can post if anyone's interested.
There were various lengths and diameters on the display shelves - mainly black - and they will cut, but I think there's a charge per cut. I just grabbed a shorter length. I suppose they had longer lengths out the back.
They also had a huge selection of clear acrylic products.
