anybody know what distributor will sell me a sheet of kydex. I live in south jersey. Even a 1/4 sheet would do 2x4. I'm making a truss scope and I would rather use kydex because of the weight and durability.

Hi Bill,
ABS is a better alternative and is found at plastic supply companies, maybe even in your town.
It is cheaper, comes in lots of thicknesses and has a textured finish too. It will hold up in the sun better than Kydex.
http://www.professionalplastics.com/ is where I buy my sheets.

I have purchased ABS from TAP Plastics. Google TAP Plastics for more information.
They sent the ABS I ordered very quickly and the 24 x 48 sheet was not too expensive.
Good luck,
