Daryl,
You can get G-10 from Dayton Plastics, 2554 Needmore Rd., Dayton, OH
45414. Phone 800-762-2342. They will sell it in square foot lots, at
least they did six months ago. Their G-10 goes for about $38-$40 per
square foot of 1/2 inch material. It is expensive but it looks like
they are better than the other options I've seen on the list, including
Cadillac Plastics. I think they will cut it to size probably even a
disc shape. They also have acrylic and Lexan in many sizes and shapes.
I have bought from them on two occasions and have been very satisfied.
