Does anybody know where to buy lexan or stuff mountains use on boxes. I had a plywood box and had to wax it so much to have it slide so i am going to build a new box and nail lexan or something like that on

you can get it at any home depot, i wouln't nail it in though because it can crack easily if your not careful. screws would probably be better

dont nail though it. lexan is a ridgid/hard material, and pounding on it with a pointed piece of metal is a bad plan.
countersink it. Drill first, countersink the hole far enough that whatever screws youre gonna use dont stick up and kick your ass when you slide it, and screw that shit down.
also, if its too thin, the impact of you popping onto it may crack it. i wouldnt go any smaller than 1/4", although apparently some do, and it works fine. i use 1/2 to 3/4" lexan on the boxes we build, hasnt broken yet.

or you could use the thinner lexan and just use that liquid nails for lexan to attach it to a piece of plywood so that you dont have to worry about it cracking between screw holes on impact and its cheaper
