Creation of Slates

[Larryjd1]

So they are ABS and not PVC? OK.

Ah, my mistake. Thanks for the correction!

I googled as I didn't know the difference and got:

"PVC is more flexible, but ABS is stronger and more shock resistant. ABS is better at handling severely cold temperatures, but it can warp with exposure to direct sunlight."

So maybe I got lucky anyway...

Somebody told me how to do it long ago, but I lost the communications detailing the procedure. I believe it involves this item:

Are you guys looking for slates in the traditional sense, like a wrist flip slate and/or a ridged pocket slate, or are you talking more about a pre-printed pages that you can zip tie into your wet notes (like if you want to supply pre-printed NDL tables, gas rate every 3 meters, MOD chart, whatever).

If the latter, yeah definitely just talk to your local quick printer about doing some printing onto a thicker "synthetic". Its basically plastic paper that is tear-proof and water proof but laser-compatible. Any decent size quick printer should be able to run your PDF on their digital press onto synthetic stock. You can still cut it with scissors or a paper trimmer and punch holes in it yourself using a single-hole punch. Synthetic stock can be as cheap as $1 per page plus printing costs.
