What is the name of the glossy plastic that sticks on bathroom walls?

asked:


My mother had a small walk-in shower installed in her downstairs bathroom. They used a glossy plastic material that they just glued to two of the walls. It was thin and pliable. What is the name for this plastic? Where can I find just the plastic, not the actual stall kit? Thanks.

What will cut out a hole in a plastic bin?

I’m making a feral cat shelter out of two big plastic storage bins: you put one inside the other & fill the space between them with insulation of some kind. But you have to cut a “cat hole” thru both bins. I tried a utlity knife. Then I got this drill bit at Home Depot that’s supposed to act like a saw to cut straight & curved lines. I thought that would work, but it doesn’t seem to at all.

Where can I get the plastic drawers for a tool storage organiser?

Hel asked:


I am looking for somewhere preferably online in the UK to buy some of those clear plastic drawers that are in the storage cabinets.
The sort I mean is like in this link:
http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=138467
I can’t find somewhere that just sells the drawers. Some of mine have broken and I would like to replace them without having to replace the whole cabinet!
Any ideas?
Thanks!
The manufacturer is Mars. Anyone know the manufacturer details for them?

How Can I Cut Through A Plastic Storage Container Easily?

Friday, June 12th, 2009
plastic storage
Ren A asked:


The trunk of my car is sealed shut, but I can still get into the trunk from the inside of my car. Now the real problem is this huge plastic storage container is blocking most of the space in the trunk. To make matters worse, the space in my car which leads to the trunk is not large enough to remove the container intact. Hopefully, I can just cut through it since the thing is empty. I just have no idea what I could possibly use and any help would be very much appreciated.

I need a plastic storage box?

Jim D asked:


I need a plastic storage box 26″ long, 8″ deep, and 9 1/2 inches high. I would like it to have foam padding that I can cut to the shape of what I’m putting in it. It don’t want it to be real heavy duty. All I can find online is those military grade cases and large storage totes. Nothing anywhere close to my dimensions. It doesn’t have to be exact, but I need it pretty close. Anyone know where to look?
