That's before they decided that non-biodegradeable plastic was a bad
thing. Most plastic stuff you get these days is bio-degradeable in
anything from a few weeks to a few years, telling what a given items
life will be is impossible unless it mentions UV stabilty.


Good point.
Maybe the best thing would be to make my own from wood.
Any idea what wood to use?


Aluminium

Can you write on those in pencil?
