Where can I find 1.5" scuba webbing?

[eipo]

Howdy all, I am in need of some 1.5" stiff (stiffer the better) webbing for a project I am working. Having no experience with actual scuba gear, I am having a hard time locating a source via an internet search. I bought some from Dive Rite, but it is not stiff at all. I believe I am looking for the Resin Impregnated webbing. Any and all help will be appreciated.

I can't help with first-hand information, but I had this bookmarked, they have 1.5" webbing. Might be the same as Dive Rite for all I know.
You could ask their customer service:
Flat Nylon Webbing 1-1/2 Inch

Pretty sure that is standard webbing. Strapworks does sell the stiffer scuba webbing, but it is 1 7/8. I may have to just go that route. But I know the 1.5" is available because folks are using it to make what I want to copy.

How stiff ? The stiffness is from how tight the weave is and what thread is used... I only have Parachute webbing and 1 1/2 is not common at all... Go to
www.para-gear.com They may have something that will work....

Googleing for "resin impregnated webbing" turns up these guys:

1 1/4? ? 1 1/2? Nylon Webbing- Lowy Enterprises, Inc.

Last item seems to be what you're after?

You can try piranha dive gear.

I've read that their webbing is pretty stiff.

I checked them out and did not see anything that seem suitable.

Stiff enough that it is not easily folded over in half. Seems the webbing is most used in weight belts.

Looks like it. Now if only I could find it by the foot! I found many manufacturers, just no retailers.

Try this reply again....

Stiff. Should not be able to roll the edges over. The webbing at Para Gear is to soft.

Yep... If only they sold it by the foot!

I may just bump up to 2" I can find that all day.
