I’m looking for a source for a couple of sheets of 1/4 glass suitable for fins. The only “grade” I know of that would work well is the g10/fr4 stuff that Griffin uses, but that’s CRAZY expensive. Looking online, I see electrical grade (gp03) and premium/regular grade “plain” fiberglass (frp).
Yeah, but its messy, a hassle, I don’t have poly (just epoxy) with which to build up a bunch of layers quickly… For a few bucks I’d spring for a nice sheet to just cut and foil.
The link you’re looking for was already posted – surf4fins, maybe? It’s 1 square foot x (lots of choices of thickness) of G-10. I think they were 10-15 bucks?
I would have sworn I saved that link, but I can’t find it – I’ll keep looking. Consider pming surf4fins…
Have you checked for G10 here: http://www.mcmaster.com/ ? Do a search for the G10 and then add the thickness and dimensions. They are the most reasonable I have found to date.

What size fins are you looking to make as we have a few fin blanks in stock that already have the base milled down to the exact thickness needed for ProBox?
I’m not on island at the moment but I know we had CLEAR, RED, and BLUE, but I would have to check.
Ideally, if you could send me the template I could check to make sure that it would fit the panels before you bought them. We will sell them for $5 per panel.
I think they are 5" x 6" and 4" x 5" but I don’t remember so I would have to check when I get back on Monday night.
I have quite a few of them, but most of them are the smaller size. This size would work fine for a 4" side bite or small quad fin.
Let me know and I’ll see if I can help you out with these panels.
We can make you some 1/4" thk bamboo panels for glass-ons, no problem. We already sell 3/8" thick and “ProBox style” panels ~ you can get 6-10 fins from one panel.
