Question 1

is this flexible enough to use to make mud flaps?

Accepted Answer

Worked for me.  I made a mud flap for my Harley Davidson.  Gave it a vintage look.  I used a heat gun (a hair dyer will work too) to soften it and cut it with an Exacto-knife.  Suggest you make a paper template first and tape it to the ABS sheet and a cut-guide.

Question 2

How many sheets are in an order?

Accepted Answer

Only one. You will receive a sheet 12 X 12 X 1/16.

Question 3

Looking for something I can mix bondo on that will flex enough to pop the unused bondo off to use again will this work?

Accepted Answer

Yes it should work ok for that  - but I would use the smooth side of the panel to ensure the Bondo does not get stuck in the textured side..

Question 4

is 1/16 thick enough if my opening 10" x 4" and I have 5 ports and switches I'm pushing on?

Accepted Answer

Probably not if it is only supported along the edges.  This thin ABS is not a rigid product.  You may want to choose a different material (i.e. plexiglass, aluminum, steel, plywood) and a thickness that gives you the support you need.  While 1/16-in steel may work, you will likely need something a bit thicker for other materials.

However, if the circumference of the 10x4 ABS plastic panel is tightly held along the four edges, and if you are not pushing too hard or too often when plugging into ports and turning switches, it may be workable.  You could also gain the support you need by reinforcing the the opening under the plastic panel, or the backside of the panel with steel or aluminum sheet metal, or plexiglass.  Expanded metal sheets as found in hardware stores may also work.
