Physical Therapy materials?
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, September 19, 2003 4:36 PM
I work with physical therapists and found a material called Klarity which come in 1/16, 3/32, 3/8. It is a durable plastic that you can heat and mold to whichever shape you want.

Not really sure how much since I requested FREE sample in 4" x 6" sheets to be sent. I know the supplies are costly but maybe you can score some for yourself.

Dynatronics is the name of the company. Check it out:

First, I hope you don't mind if I go back thru and look at some older posts.

SpeechmanJim posted this last year and I don't know if he's still around. I'd like to hear more about his progress.

Materials such as this, even if costly, could be used to shape difficult items such as one might model for an oil refinery or steel mill, that would be difficult to do with styrene.

I currently use blocks of pine wood and a dremel tool to shape objects, such as my watertank waterspout. This type of material would speed things up considerably.

Hey Dave, I would like to suggest that you save the digging for a rainy day, unless it is something specificly related to something current, in which case just post a link. We have so many great topics going, that it is difficult to keep up. Beside you are one of the greatest topic writers I have ever run across.[swg]
