Does anyone know the material used for the flexible Mucky Nuts Fender Bender?

I have some designs I'd like to try out but not sure what type of plastic to use.

Cheap A4 folders are a good source of material

I think it is polypropelene. You can buy big sheets of it fairly easily. Available commercially under various brand names; Priplak is one, available in lots of colours. It's used in printing so a friendly print shop might have an off cut.

I believe model makers buy it in sheets, too.

I could imagine that 'their' supply may have a premium tacked on though...

Thanks! Using old plastic folders sounds great. I think i've got some somewhere. If not a trip to hobbycraft.

The Endura Guard ones are polyproylene 1.2mm thick.
