blue or pink styro foam small quantities
Morning all
Hit a dead end last night trying to get some of the above in small quantity.
B&Q only seem to seel it in huge packs for £20.
Any ideas on national companies I might be able to get some from? I'm only after 600x600. Or has anyone got any offcuts they'd exchange
for beer tokens?
Thanks
Nigel

Your B&Q sells blue and pink foam? Where do they keep it?
Mine only seems to sell white polystyrene which is attacked by polyester resin. Unless that is I'm looking in the wrong place.

after being dragged round the whole store by the numpty who I made the mistake of asking for help I ended up finding it ony my own.
If the stores are all laid out the same it's in large packs down near the entrance to the outdoor building supplies bit on the left near the
MDF/plywood sheets etc.
Hope that helps, unforntunately it only comes in large packs for £20.

The blue and pink stuff will get attacked by the resin as well...
You will have to paint it with a waterbased paint first, or use parcel tape

Do a google search for 4D models.
They do mail order.

Which will probably be me - depends how soon you need it, not starting "that" sort of work for about 6 weeks.

Well after plenty of searching on the net as most places want silly money for the stuff I found this place
http://www.peninsulaplastics.co.uk/erol.html#919X0
based outside Liverpool and deliver within 48hrs so hopefully I'll be able to get cracking over the weekend.
hopefully this will help out others in the same predicament.
Cheers

I've got about 6x 4'x2' 10mm sheets in my garage of the real stuff - designed for glass.
Any good to anyone?
