Yes, I got rod from polycraft direct for $1/meter. Have plenty left (white only) since I really only filled in a few drill holes and stuff like that. How much do you need?

I haven't sourced sheets of the right material, but would talk give Barney's Marine a call at Hervey Bay (ask for Murray). He will either know or can put you in touch with the poly welder there that does spray chines there, and he will know.

Sounds like you'll want more than the few meters I have left if you are going to do anything with sheet poly so you'll probably want to get the rod direct from polycraft. It comes in 100 meter roles, but I originally bought just several meters when I ordered my boat and they were happy to oblige.
