Cream colored block of micarta I bought about 8 years ago. The gentleman told me he had worked at Westinghouse and that this was Westinghouse Micarta. I dont know it from Adam, it is not anything I know about. Anyway, its been sitting around on my desk forever and I dont need it. Im looking for offers as I dont know what it may be worth. Also open to trades. It is 5 inches long and 1.20x1.20. Pics make it look whiter , it is creme colored, definately not white. Thanks, Deacon

It is worth whatever you think you can sell it for. What would you like to get for it? You must have some idea. Do you want to sell it, monopolize it or both?
 
Im looking to sell it, I really dont have an idea but around the hundred dollar mark does sound good to me. Im ready to deal. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving. Deacon
 
8 years and it has not turned yellow.
I don't know if they are supposed to turn yellow by then.
 
Specific plastics and resins are tricky to identify when purchased second hand. The testamonial of the seller (if true) helps, but it's curious that it hasn't yellowed much at all in 8 years. By the way, I assume that anyone who would buy this knows that if it is indeed micarta, that it contains cancer causing asbestos. It can be worked safely if you take extreme precautions, but DO NOT BREATHE THE DUST!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
it should have turned by now.oxygen makes it turn.sometimes guys will seal it with a thin coat of super glue or something like that,to keep it out of the air.check to see if it has a real thin layer of super glue over it.what is the ball park price on it?
 
Sold to Wade, thanks much, will be shipped out tomorrow if usps is open. Thanks again, Deacon
