Phenolic boards

Has anyone used these for enclosures or similar?

Unfamiliar, but be sure to wear respirator when you cut that stuff.

Lungs dont like it.

The stuff is sort of expensive over here.

There is a chap selling 18mm stock is 8x4ft sheets for £45 a sheet, could make some cool projects

That sounds like a bargain to me provided it is what he thinks it is. Are you sure it isn’t just phenolic FACED?

Well it’s 18mm birch ply with phenolic board coating

Gotcha. I thought you were talking solid phenolic (like Garolite).

Hi Luke,

I used this stuff for a couple of projects (usually in 12mm, but they have other sizes):

Apparently its from the Ukraine - and was developed for truck body floors. But architects love it for interior work. Doesn’t @Vince.Fab say hexy is sexy??

I also use a lot of formply - same thing (typically 17-18mm thick), but just not as fancy.

But both work well - and I recommend you give it a go.
