So after more research on the racebred splitter, like most others it's a marine grade plywood that can be purchased in 4x8 sheets for 60-80$. This really doesn't seem worth it to me to spend 400$ plus 75 shipping on something I can make myself for <100$ and a couple hours of time. Granted, it's proving more difficult than I thought to find a source of marine grade birch ply.
I've been pricing out supplies to just make my own dry carbon splitter, and it's really not so bad. For that same 400$ I can get the majority of stuff I need and the work itself is pretty easy if you've ever worked with carbon or fiberglass before.
Anyone know of decent places to source marine grade ply, marine grade wood composites, or has anyone made their own carbon pieces?
