HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) Sheet, Opaque White, Standard Tolerance, UL 94HB, 1/32" Thickness, 12" Width, 12" Length

In total I bought 7 sheets of 2' x 4' polyethylene, 1/8" thick. All of the sheets were nice and square cut ends and dimensionally to size. Only thing is that the shipping cost was a little pricey but I did save the time and expense of driving to a regular plastics dealer and probably would have had difficulty finding this particular size sheet already cut. So overall, the shipping cost was probably a wash. Besides, this was two separate orders so would have been two trips. I am happy that Amazon offered this material as I would not have guessed they did until I went looking for it. Overall a good experience.

I use this material for many projects, this sheet in particular was used to replace an old rotten "marine" plywood ski locker hatch of a bayliner capri. the old hatch would crack and bend every time I stepped on it and was scary to walk on. The top and bottom was painted but sides, drill holes, drain and handle holes were all exposed wood. The ski locker often has water in it that isn't picked up from the bilge pump, most of the time it enters through bilge drain fitting and backwashes into the bilge Instead of wasting my time on plywood I used this material that will never rot, crack, break, or need to be refinished. It is slightly heavier than plywood but completely worth the extra cost and effort. To make the hatch I used double sided tape to stick the old hatch to this one, put it up on some blocks and then used a jigsaw to make the rough cut. I then used a large (1 inch cutting blade) router trim bit to make the clean cut followed by a 1/4 round bit to clean up the edge on the top side so that the sharp edge doesn't cut through the carpet. I then used outdoor marine carpet adhesive to glue the new carpet onto the hatch. A plastic spoon worked well for getting gobs of it all over the hatch and then a serrated plastic knife for spreading it evenly Tip #1, wear a mask when cutting the board. the shavings are heavy and don't really go airborne but depending on what you're using to cut it there will be some fumes given off, if you have any kind of breathing problems this might give you a hard time. Or use a fan and ventilate the area well when cutting Tip #2, when using router bits make sure to put some high strength thread lock on the bearing screws, it is very easy to lose a bearing when working with HDPE since it does resist and vibrate a lot more than wood when being cut Tip #3, after the trim cut before rounding, take very rough sandpaper and go over the edge all around, this will result in a very clean round cut Tip #4, practice on trimmed off pieces from jigsaw cut to make sure you have the correct depth, are using the right amount of pressure, and have the right speed. High speed tends to cause a lot of vibration which can cause you to lose a bearing, low speed will take too long and the cut won't be as clean Tip #5, setup a box out of cardboard around the material while it's being cut, cutting it makes a huge mess even with a vacuum line on your router. This way the cardboard will contain the mess in a small area for easy cleanup I almost want to make a silly statement like "why don't manufacturers use this in the first place?", but I think everyone who has worked on anything manufactured in the last few decades knows the answer to that This new hatch will easily outlast the boat and it's owner. I also ended up rebuilding the deck with a few layers of fiberglass mat followed by many very thick coats of epoxy. The deck is now far better than anything you can buy manufactured

Odor free, and feels like HDPE food cutting mas I have had. Need it for the inside of a wooden shallow well cover where I did not want condensation dripping off wood or paint, or aluminum. This ended up being thicker than I anticipated, but that isn't the materials's fault, it's mine. I thought at 1/16 thichness I was getting something that would roll up and be able to be cut with scissors, like the food cutting mats I use (chop veggies then fold up mat to help pour contents into pot or bowl.). I think rolling hdpe might be 1/32" thickness, because while 1/16 was a little bit flexible, I had to use a saw to cut (not scissors, and it just bent in tin snips). It was pliable enough to attach with 3/8" stainless steel staples, though (certainly not rigid and cracking like an acrylic), so it worked well for my application.

I purchased the HDPE to use as a diffuser over a large array of addressable LEDs for an art display. The sheets came packaged in a flat cardboard package that was tightly taped up to hold the HDPE sheet securely. They arrived with no damage. My only nit (and the reason for 4 stars over 5), is that the sheets will not lay flat and are a bit warped. PLEASE NOTE, this is very likely an issue with the HDPE material and nothing to do with Small Parts or their packaging. It just causes me some issues in using it for the visual display.

Great. Made light fixture diffusers.

I purchased a 1/2" thick sheet, 12" x 48" to fabricate a new bilge cover for our sailboat. After researching material options I found out about HDPE and it worked perfectly. Waterproof, highly durable, and easy to cut. I used a jigsaw with a blade designed for plastic and had no difficulty whatsoever. On some forums people complained about it melting back together after cutting, but I had no such trouble using the jigsaw with the proper blade. Just be sure to put down a dropcloth and expect a mess of shavings after cutting it. I was a little surprised that the sheet was so glossy. It's also much heavier than I expected. Seems very durable and resistant to bowing. I couldn't get a sheet with quite the proper dimensions to fully cover my bilge but I just cut a smaller piece from the scrap that seems to work.

It's tough and the perfect thickness to make kayak patches and scratch guards. much cheaper than replacing a whole kayak

Shipping is much too high but good quality product.

Order early so you can return bad pieces in time. I purchased 4 pieces in 2 orders. They are squares with a code on them and no other packaging from the manufacturer or, it seems, protection in the warehouse. One piece had been folded at some point and a crease existed that I wasn't entirely able to avoid when cutting. 3 pieces were the correct thickness but one was probably 50% thicker than the others, visibly 'whiter' and handled differently. Because these need to slide in a track meant for 1/32 material, I ended up having to sand down the edges on one piece to make it work. All pieces had minor scratches. I'd have returned 2 pieces except that I was against a deadline and had to make due with what I had. Otherwise the material seemed fine, easy to work with and versatile.

Vraiment bon

It is perfect !!! I would say that this material is perfect for many hobbyist! It's a shame that they do not offer more colors on amazon yet !

Excellent delivery and product is what I desired

purchase went off without and issues, used for wear protection in a grain vac
