In Response To: Material: Pygmy-like backrest (JT Smith)

High density polyethylene (HDPE) You can get it at plastics suppliers. When I lived in Philly, there was only one in town that carried it, but that was 20 years ago.

: What sort of plastic is the Pygmy backrest made from, and where can I
: purchase it?

: I need to make three quick and easy backrests, and Pygmy's look the simplest.
