Default durometer scale

Carrier Friends,
I know it has been a sore point on the forum before as McMaster Carr will not ship outside the united states but I do like their representation of durometer which can be found on this link.

Default Crossing the border can be arranged.....

MacMaster will ship to US address and arrangements for pickup or secondary delivery and pick up for border crossing can be arranged...... Gunner knows what I mean and it is all legal.... you will incur shipping and PST and GST at the border. Good UC wheels are in such short supplies that if they can be economically and approriately retired it can be done.

Hardness, appearance, durability and price all has to be worked out by the buyer or buyers with some experimentation......

Bob

The price I got for polyurethane was about $400 per wheel. Way high.
I'm doing my own.I have the mold finished and will pour the poly as soon as I can get into Regina to pick some up.
My plan is to use a Shore 90 hardness.
I think I can do it for about $100 a wheel,depending on price of the poly.

Dave,
Good luck with your project. Will be watching how it turns out. I had a quote from a firm in Nisku AB for $300 per wheel in 90 poly. There has to be a better price out there!
Doug
