Does anyone know what the best material is for flexible bendy bits?



Thanks

Thanks Daz. Any Idea what thickness is best? 6mm? 8mm? maybe 3mm doubled up?

I would try 3mm (single thickness, not doubled up as you have suggested). Should be flexible enough to form your corners, but not too rigid that it doesn't want to bend. It won't crack or break on you, and should bounce any cars which hit it back to the track.

Thanks again Daz. thats a great help.

The stuff that arrived seemed pretty floppy so in the end I did double up the main bends and half doubled up the end pieces.
They were tested out on Sunday and they worked very well.
