G-10 liner material works great, but is a bit harder to work than traditional vulcanized fiber liner, which can be cut with tin snips. If you work with G-10, wear a mask, as the dust isn't good for your lungs.
Vulcanized fiber can be found at most knifemaking supply houses, like here: https://usaknifemaker.com/spacer-bright ... erial.html.
Stay safe,

Re: Liners - Halpern scales
I cut my vulcanized liners with trauma shears. But I also cut 1/32 G-10 with the same shears.
I find that the shears give me more fine control, to reduce the final adjustments.
I started with vulcanized liner, then switched to g-10 because I thought it might work better, then decided that vulcanized liners were actually better for most of my uses, and have largely gone back to vulcanized. Vulcanized is cheaper too.
