Styrene with Patterns (e.g. not plain sheets)
Posted by Gus on Friday, May 22, 2009 12:18 PM

Where can you find styrene with patterns such as squares or rivets like dots?  All that seems to be available are plain sheets in various thickness.  My problem may be because I don't know what they are called.  At Evergreen they have various names but no descriptions or pictures so I don't really know what they mean when they say "Clapboard" or "Novelty".

Thanks!

Clapboard is like the siding on a house...

 

 You may want to look into the Square Tile and sidewalk tile... I can't help ya with rivets though.. I make that type from plain sheet using a screen roller...

Drop Siding, like in the Novelty list is tongue & grove siding...

Evergreen and Plastruct carry an assortment of textures and surface finishes...rivets you may have to add yourself...there's a tool for that.
