correx

[hayleyh]

i have been searching the web high and low and I cant find a large sheet of correx. The links on the forum are quite old and some of the companies dont offer it anymore.
Anyone know where I can get some? a sheet about 5ft by 3 ft would be good.

I use http://www.teacratepackaging.co.uk/correx-board
The sheets are 2mm thick and 2 metres by 1 metre so slightly bigger than 5ft by 3ft if I've done my calculations correctly.

I have just ordered some from a member on here called Kim she's doing me 5x2.

the one stop plastic shop do 8ftx 4 ft sheets in various colours, you have to email for large sheets but its still straight forward

I went on yell.com and looked for sign writers in my local area, I rang round them all and got prices some quotes were ridiculous £48 for a 8 ft by 4 ft sheet, ended up finding one 5 minute walk and it was £15 for the same size!

I bought some from Travis Perkins. It's only 2mm, but in 8x4 sheets. It was £9ish per sheet. If you have one close by, it might be worth giving them a call.

Thanks everyone - is 2mm thick enough?

Hi

I used a local sign writers as well and picked up a huge bit for £10. Mine is 4mm, the 2mm was just a bit too thin and I probably would have had trouble scoring and bending it without snapping it in half!

You can always try getting hold of old for sale boards and joining them together
