Can anyone tell me where I can find yellow spacer material? I usually use vulcanized rubber but am open to anything that will work. Thanks.

I don't believe I've ever seen any supplier that has yellow. What if you get a Penn's Oil bottle and us it. I don't see why if shouldn't work.

Steve, Ans may have a point but spacer material you buy is plasticized paper. On the safe side you may want to do a test, one thing I'd do is make a number of pentrations that won't have a chance of being seen to let the epoxy go threw so the bond isn't broken. I've never used that type of plastic but have heard of a few makers using it. Good luck, Ray.

texas knifemakers supply has a new spacer material that is plastic and comes in about a half dozen colors and i think yellow is one of them.
