Correx Question

[jmacka93]

Hi,
I am collecting all supplies I need and getting everything ready for when I get my guinea pigs in mid June, but I am having problems with the correx for my C&C Cage. I went to my local sign shop today and they told me that because of the size I wanted, they'd only sell it to me if I bought the 5+ sheets that they would have to order. So I had a look online and for the 4mm stuff, it either works out very expensive, there isn't the size that I need, or I have to buy 5+ sheets. I don't need that many sheets, so my question is:
Would I be able to layer 2 sheets of 2mm correx to make it as strong as 4mm correx? Or will just 2mm correx be strong enough?

Thank you

you can buy 4mm or 5mm proplex (non branded correx) from protection.co.uk

2mm is really flimsy but fine for cages that are supported by a floor or a table for example :-)

I brought mine from Kazoo the printing shop in Bridgetown but that was a few years ago.

Do you have any idea how much it cost from there, and how big was the sheet?
Thanks

So sorry i've not replied. I wouldn't have a clue on the cost as I can't even think what I paid. I think I had an 8ft piece but it may have been 6ft.Not much use am I. :red
