: I would be just a little concerned about the wood holding up under prolonged
: immersion in the pump body.

: I can get you some free sheet polypropylene that machines very
: well--1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 1".... for the cost
: of shipping only, or I can even bring some to SSTIKS for you. (It's the
: same stuff I'm using for the folding AA frames, and for the tips on my
: GP's.)

Thanks Shawn. I would be interested in experimenting with some of that material. You can't glue it though can you? I think this might be my last footpump for a while so I would use the poly for something else; maybe custom footpedals. I haven't decided if I'm coming to SSTIKS this year. I may come for the day just to watch.
