Vedak Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Hey guys, I was wondering if those yellow plastic speed bumps could be used for swimbait material? The reason I ask, is because my work place throws away a lot of broken ones (trucking industry), and I was thinking I could reuse them to sort of "recycle". This isn't really to save money, just figured the material would end up in a landfill. Polypropylen and Polyethylene are the materials it's made out of.

Sonny.Barile Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Why dont you get a small piece and put some paint and clear coat on it to see if you have any adhesion issues before you invest in shapeing out a body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crankpaint Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 you can us a router on it and get clean cuts,and but to cut it into workable peices might be hard to do as it would melt from heat of a table saw blade (might be able to cut it a little at a time) but it might just work?? if you can get a peice and try it go for it you might have a gold mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Also check and see if it floats. If not, you're fighting a losing battle trying to make swimbaits out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
