Hi Jessee

    I was the one who mentioned it was messy and it's both a lot of
    shavings and chewy.  But, I just took out a piece (It's at least 23
    years old.) and tried to file it to be sure and it's not quite as bad
    as I remembered. The edges get chewier than the flat places. I
    couldn't find my large rods but the small rod I found had yellowed a
    bit but was creamy white under the slight surface film (probably
    oil).  

    I got my end cuts at a plastic supplier that dealt mostly in plexi. 
    It might have been Cadillac Plastics. The white was in rod form, the
    black was in a small block.  I found several suppliers on the web so
    you might be able to find one that would sell you a small quantity. I
    just checked the Small Parts site
    (http://www.smallparts.com/materials/) and they list both black and
    natural(white)sheet and rod.
