Does anyone know of somone who makes an acrylic leather slick for seat work - like Jermiah Watt uses on his video??

If not is there anyone else out there that would be interested in one? I found a glass store here in Dallas that will make them from 1/2-5/8" thick plexiglass if they are provided a shape to go by- which will be easy to do. I suspect there will be a minimum order reqiured to have them order the material.

Thanks RMR

Do you have a picture or dimensions? I haven't seen the video, but I've made some acrylic slickers.

My best guess watching the video is its about 11-12" long, probably about 2-3 " wide and about 1/2-3/4 thick. It is shaped somewhat like a bananna or a boomerang with a gentle convex curve on the front edge and a has a concave back edge, the two sides are also rounded with sightly differrent radiuses (sp??) - it looks to me like all 4 edges can be used for differrent places on a saddle. All the edges are rounded off

I can certainly draw what it looks like

Tim I have a second shape that I might also want - if you are up for it

Let me know. I can mail or fax original tracings I have made of both shapes . I will need all the edges rounded off, and would prefer this made of 1/2-3/4 material- Im thinking the thicker the better. What do you think they would run?

Thanks RMR

The thickest I'll have is 1/2", and we can talk about price later, ok? I have to see if there's any scrap at work....

I think a 1/2 " thick will be just fine
