Plastic card stock
Posted by Bones-coa on Friday, November 21, 2003 5:58 AM
Guys, I see alot of you use plastic card stock for filling and other various things. Where else can one buy this stuff besides a hobby shop? The know the hobby shop in may area doesn't carry it.

If you live near a Wally-World, check out the plastic signs they have for Garage Sales, etc.. They may be the right thickness for your needs at a fraction of the cost.

Check your yellow pages for some one who makes signs. For several summers when he was in college, my oldest boy worked for a company which made small signs from several types of materials one of which styrene. The plastic came in 2 ' x 3 ' sizes in .010 thru .040 thickness. He would scrounge scraps and seconds and give them to me. You might find someone who will sell scraps and seconds very reasonably. Or tell you to come and get what you want. Might be worth a try though.

Check the yellow pages under "plastic suppliers" for one in your area. The one near me has a remnant section and quite a selection of styrene, acrylic, etc. as well as glues and other stuff. I've also found great shapes like tubes, domes etc.
