Plastic sheet for laser cutting - suppliers and alternatives to rowmark

[jonhall]

 

I'm doing a little more laser cutting and would like thinner sheets and ideally a better material than Rowmark. 

 

Can anyone recommend sheet material of 0.5-1.5mm thickness. 

 

I don't like Rowmark because it doesn't bond with my preferred solvent (DCM) and smells particularly nasty when cutting, and feels rather sticky/waxy after cutting. 

 

Thanks

Hello Jon,
I've just tried Polybak from the 4D Model Shop - in 0.4 and 0.9mm thicknesses. It has a slightly plastic feel to it and cuts nicely. So far I've only used cyanoacrylate to fix it to other materials.

does it have to be plastic? Plenty of suitable 3ply thicknesses from 0.4mm upwards.
