how flexible is correx?

[Dusty_bugs]

Hi guys, looks like I will be getting some correx for a new C&C tomorrow but not sure if I will be able to fit the whole sheet in my car.. I may have to cut out the pieces at the plastics place.

Does anyone know if this stuff rolls without creasing or snapping. I know it will probably role more easily width ways (not going against the grain of the corrugation).

If I can bend it in half lengthways then it will fit C shaped into my boot/back seats. If it rolls width ways I may be able to slip it over the gearstick and into the footwell from the back of the boot.

Oh man. I guess I could always spend a little less and buy two sheets from teacrate but it's my second choice. The pieces are not as big and I will have to make more cuts and it's much thinner.

If its 4mm or thicker it won't roll , you with have to bend it or cut it ! Or get it delivered !

it may bend slightly but the 4mm stuff is tough. I made my pens using two 4ft x3ft sheets, a good overlap and no problems at all

i use the 2mm from teacrate, it rolls up nicely. I have found the 2mm does the job and is cheap and easy to replace.

Aaaah.. thanks.. the stuff I was looking at was 6mm I think.. I checked out teacrate too and wasnt sure. I was hoping to have it tomorrow but wont get it until Tuesday earliest and that's when I get the pigs.. also, the sheet sizes it stated is 200 by 100cms .. my C&C will be 185/145cm in an L shape so I will probably be making lots more cuts out of it than from a 240 by 120 cm piece. Oh the indecision! hahaha.
... yet the price on teacrate is fantastic! Shame the guinea discount thing doesnt work for me

How long does the 2mm stuff last?

Haha.. I cavvied (pun!) and teacrated it. I wen to the plastics place I was originally thinking of and they said they wouldnt cut the correx because "it splinters some'**** awful and buggers up the lathe... nah sorry.. really am sorry. £19 for the 2 sheets and delivery for £12?"

haha.. £15 and I can have 4 sheets of the thin correx. Sold.
