router jig material

Hello, my name is Bill from New York, a retaired Architect who loves woodworking. In watching the "Router Workshop" I became interested in the fence and jig plastic material. I have tried HDPE but need something that can be glued or bonded together. Any suggestions?

What kind of jigs are you building? Can you describe your requirements?

laminated 1/2" fence guides, end grain push blocks with clamps, ETC

Welcome to the forums Bill.

Nylon cutting boards found at the cut-price outlets work well, but, usually are limited in thickness to 3/4" and about 18" in length. But, ripped to width, laminated (stacked one on top of another), screwed together and jointed any height can be achieved.
As a suggested adhesive (instead of permanent screws) I would first try a urethane (eg. Gorilla Glue) and then Liquid Nails. Once the joints have fully cured, test the joint strength before using the assembly with any high speed router.
