Ron,

most polymers become brittle because of a loss of the volitile hydrocarbons
they contain,
the higher the temp generally the faster the loss of these hydrocarbons.
Depending on the
material you MAY actually make a polymer based component harder by boiling
it and then cooling it.

UV light can and does play a part here too, I suppose you could put some
SPF50 on your outriggers
to block those UV's, but seriously some of the new clear films block 99% of
UV which would fix
the issue if it is UV related

From: "flyingphil2" <ptiller@lolacars.com>


Hi,

I'm looking for some Grade BB 3mm birch plywood to replace some of the parts that
I never had in my kit.  The factory can't get any and I'm struggling to find
any anywhere else.

Anybody have any UK contacts for this or does anyone in the UK have any sizeable
bits left over that they would like to get rid of.  Willing to pay of course.

Regards,

Phil

Phil - Sky-Craft <http://www.sky-craft.co.uk/> appears to have 3mm in 
stock in both GLI (full sheets only) and GLII (full & half sheets). 
Not sure what the difference between BB and GLI/GLII is, though.

regards

Rowland
