Yes but almost always too big for sides, and assy foil.

what are you trying to do?

i build a lot of fins in moulds.
just made a shim for a normal mould to create asy fins. mixed results.
trying different things. some very successful results during testing. fins are faster AND have more grip.

main issue is reducing the amount of work / steps in making assy fins. as well as standardisation in design and process.

maybe we can compare notes?

By testing I just mean I need a variety of sizes for my builds.
8 9 and 10

Once the sizes are found for that board, I might then fiddle with toe etc but I remould a base easily for that

so I just want some cheap sides and prefer a bit scratched up to refurb

A stack of K4s could do the job for a reasonable amount.

I know.
I prefer free / contra deals as eventually they get included with a board sale and I run out (like I have now)
I also may reshape refoil or rebox/toe so plastic annoys me
