pvc

im not sure if you guys are familiar with this pvc
stuff i use for exterior house trim. its a pvc material that can be bought as an exterior railing ballaster(2"x2"). its lightweight and as the product manufacturer says it works like wood and accepts paint(acrylic). it feels a bit more lightweight than pvc plumbing material. is anyone familiar with it?

I have used some Celtex 500 to make a few plugs, as has Fishpart. It's expensive, it floats and a little heavier than Alaskan Yellow Cedar. It doesn't make very good pikies in the 7" range, I think it's too heavy. I will be making needles out of what is left in my stash.

It would be great for poppers and bluefish plugs.
