Hi Charlie,

I use small (about 8x10 inch) black kitchen cutting boards from the local
box store.  I'm not sure what the material is some kind of 'plastic'.  I
have shaped them using a table saw and drill press.  I use them for center
insulators on several dipoles with an so239 mounted in the center and holes
for the elements and Dacron rope for mounting.  I have had these insulators
for several generations of antennas (maybe 8 to 10 years) and the sun hardly
fades them at all.  Of course I am up here in upstate NY summer sun and no
salt.)

Good luck
