I want to make spreaders for open wire line. My plan is to have a CNC
machine punch out several hundred spacers with slots for the main wire and
holes for a small tie wire. I'm going to try and make the spreader so it
just snaps over the line tightly, because I have so many to install.
Would Lexan be a good choice for life and ability to be punched, or some
other material better? The sun is a major worry here in the south. I also
want a material that won't break, absorb water, or a rough or abrasive
surface that bonds with dirt and stuff. I'd like it to be slick.
