If you can't find an abandoned yard sign lying around, the big box hardware
stores sell new pieces at pretty cheap prices.

I solved this issue in my Fabios Chest by buying a storage bin lid at
Target and cutting it down to size. Works great, and only cost a few
dollars.

i bought a used sackville on ebay that didnt come with any stiffener.
coroplast is pretty expensive at office supplies so i just used cardboard.

While I'd not want to use Masonite in my saddlebags -- too heavy; coroplast
at right angles to pressure is better -- I do want to use it as a
consumable workbench cover. Excellent idea that is new to me but which
makes great sense. But first I'll have to clean up the work surface.
As to a bag
Masonite is the stuff that lots of folks use as a top layer on a
workbench. Plywood provides the hardness, stiffness, strength and
support. Masonite is a smoother, splinter free, less absobant surface.
Masonite is a "consumable". In a shop workbench, we'd replace the masonite
top every
Masonite is a brand name for fiberboard, AKA hardboard.

I'm with Ian, but instead of plywood, I use 1/8" fiberboard for bike bag
stiffeners. Cut to size and coat with polyurethane to water proof it. Holds
up great, downside is it's heavier than the plastic.

You could try gluing two pieces of chloroplast together with the "grain" of
the two pieces running at right angles, or three pieces at 60 deg -
"plyplast"?
This assumes that you are using free recycled signs.

I don't want to hi-jack this thread, but having been inspired by the "lots

weigh it. 2.55 lbs. So I emptied it and went for an 8 mile round trip

Well I don't START with lots of stuff but I endeavor to be like Pam (Likes

Get a 6-pack of the thin plastic cutting boards, dollar store or other such

In a set of Lone Peak panniers I used to have, the plastic stiffeners they
came with actually broke to pieces. I replaced them with thin sheets of
plywood. Perhaps 1/4" thick. Sand and round the edges so it doesn't abrade

As folks have said, more free coroplast will be the ideal solution.
However, if you want to make your coroplast last forever, never to go “all
bendy and collapsey”, send it around the front and back (or side to side)
corners, bending it the hard way. To bend “the hard way”, you’ll want to
Those hideous campaign yard signs were the first thing that popped into my mind as an abundant source of coroplast or corex. Might as well take something negative and turn it into a positive reuse!On Apr 18, 2023, at 8:12 AM, George Schick wrote:I hadn't thought about using left over election
I hadn't thought about using left over election coroplast signs for this
application, but I will now. Good idea. What I have used, though is YUPO,
an artificial paper. It's available at art supply stores in big sheets and
it can easily be cut to fit any bag dimensions. It's waterproof.
I just replaced the original coroplast from my small Sackville bag with
Plastic Corrugated Sheets I found at Office Depot. I used two sheets, cut
to size, for stronger support and masking tape around the edges to bound
them together and cover the sharp edges.

That's brilliant, Pam! I never in a million years would have thought of

Thanks!

The signs posted for political campaigns that are sometimes never taken up
are coroplast. Remove the sign since it's litter and use that. I can send
some if you have the measurements.
