thanks guys
but the acetal sheet looks tranlucent to me. is it the same material? or can I use it for making bumpers even if they are different?

After doing many searches for Kydex, I have figured out that it's only used to make holsters for guns and knives. :lol: :lol:

For some reason I think kydex is also known as acetal sheet. I could be wrong here....

I know kydex has been used for many knife sheaths. I have quit a few lol.

mcmaster sells it in white and black, but I don't think they sells overseas.

kydex is an acrylic-pvc blend.
