What's wrong with the thicknesses? I hope they are incorrect because very little of their stock actually works for our application. Ya, the blue pink swirl was "interesting" to say the least.

to add to the mix the listings don't really say whether the base is sintered/extruded and what grade (2000/4000 etc) the material is...

in the list of closeout materials it says for instance PMS 190 pink .049 x 12.5 x 300 (xx meters)

but when you click on that specific material, it may or may not say within that page that the thickness is some other value.

I found at least five of them like this over the past couple days while trying to place an order... so I had to have Jay confirm the thickness of each one.

Now long story short, they dont really have ANY that are the thickness I require... its lame.

dude buying materials and even finding them is the absolute worst part of making boards.

I've got a whole roll of .047 pink/purple/blue swirl... it looks so rad... but its just a pinch too thin for cdw #129 edge or whatever their normal edge is.
It works, but i'm getting dimples/bubbles... and have to remove too much edge first to get the base flat. Want to try .050-.055
