| not all companies use the same stuff, its just a general name given for plastic used on decks. Everslick, synthetic, all just means a plastic bottom ply. No company as far as I'm aware has released what polymer they use : o |

| when making synthetic decks they dont have to be 5 plys......i remember the old days...(sorry).....id make decks out of acrylic sand them to shape, then bend the kicks over the toater....plasic decks have great pop too but anything plastic really....plastic cartons, ice cream tubs, plastic book covers etc etc.....i really like the decks with metal beer can bottoms....that way you have a graphic from the can already |

| I'd love to see a pic of an old deck like that.. I just read on ffi, drake (emanant guy) made a synthetic deck out of a party cup, so, I guess thats possible, but I dunno what some people use, I think some companies buy in plastic in sheets rather than using stuff from around the house, but, I guess they'd work. Try some different things and see And imo, a wood deck with a synthetic bottom > all synthetic deck : o |

| fingers crossed also! that would be soo tight to see. I'd love a deck with a metal bottom, just not a non alcoholic can as I fucking hate alcohol as a concept (i've never tried it). If someone made me a dr pepper can deck? ahh, I'd love that soo much. Dr pepper can g12? yesplease, haha ^__^ |
