    GRP indexing tabs - how to make?

    All,

    I am in need of some indexing tabs to keep two hulls pieces reasonably aligned.

    Question: How do I obtain these tabs?

    1) Make them from raw fiberglass?

    2) Buy G10/FR4 sheets and cut them up? If so, what do you use to cut them?

    3) Is there a source for tabs already existing?

    Thanks for your time,

    My local TAP Plastics store sells 1" wide FG tape. I laid out on wax paper strips long enough for the tabs and epoxied the tapes. When they had cured I set them in place with clothes pins, CA'd them, then brushed on epoxy when after removing the pins. Hope this helps.
