Watch out - I bought a bunch of cutting boards in Wal-Mart to make
primary supports, thinking they were polyethylene.  They looked like it,
but weren't.  Polyethylene machines beautifully - you can cut and drill
it like butter.  The stuff I bought got hot when cut, and instead of
producing the clean white shavings that polyethylene does when cut or
drilled, it produced gooey lumps that gummed up the saw blade and drill
bits.  They make good cutting boards though.
