Nylon rod

12mm diameter nylon rods are a versatile material with many applications in model making, prop making and design due to their lightweight, strength, machinability and smooth finish.

• Length: 1000mm
• Width: 12mm
• Lightweight
• Easy to cut/drill.
• It's low-friction surface makes it suitable for moving parts in scale models.
• Nylon can be tricky to glue, best joined mechanically or with epoxy.

Nylon rods can be used for structural supports, such as internal framework or armatures in architectural models. prototypes and as an inner spine for foam or resin-cast props .
