JohnH Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm trying to get hold of some 3mm thick styrene in large (1 metre x 1 metre) sheets. Has anyone any recommendations? Thanks in advance for any help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas G Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 If you're anywhere near the Peak District, you can visit Slater's factory in Darley dale near Matlock and buy direct without the high cost of posting such large sheets: https://slatersplastikard.com/contact.php https://slatersplastikard.com/plastikard/largePlastikard.php But the largest size (full sheet) listed is 1350mm x 660mm. I am not sure you can get 1m x 1m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold westerhamstation Posted April 8, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hi, try a local vac forming company, trade name is HIPS (high impact styrene) used for point of sale and displays, a screen printing or sign company might have some.

Jol Wilkinson Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Try a supplier of architectural model materials such as EMA; http://www.ema-models.co.uk/index.php/sheet-materials.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately most of these suppliers don't stock 3mm thick sheets. I'll give the vac form/sign makers a try. Dave- I'm a long way from you in North Wales... Thanks once again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
