Coroplast

[i_am_socket]

With the election season, I was quite hopeful about the mounds of coroplast that would be sprinkled about the town that I could reap on November 5th. Unfortunately, this won't be the case since my town seems to not have much going on with the political signage and what is there is glorified plastic bags on coat-hangers.

I've been looking for places to get it from and there's a few sign shops around, but mostly deal with corporate and building signs. In my hunt I've come across Coroplastics which seems like a deal, especially considering the pricing I've read about in some threads.

Shipping for me should be negligible since they happen to have a location in a town nearby. Next paycheck I'll order some up and let you guys know how it goes.

Anybody have other materials resources that are pretty good?

I've been having the same problem lately. I feel bad taking out only one oponenet as well, so the few cloropast sings I have in my living room has an enemy in my garbage can.

I just paid $20 for an 4x8 foot sheet that even matches the color of my car somewhat. Got it at a small sign shop.

Most medium or larger building supply houses carry Coroplast.

For those close to Pottstown,Pa, I bought a 4x8 foot sheet for $8 and change a few months ago.

Yeah, the coroplast signs seem to be a thing of the past - now they're all thin, one-ply, flimsy plastic.
Hope I can find some of the 4x8 deals others have.

I've been noticing those flimsy trash bag signs too, I was so hoping for some nice chunks of free coroplast to make wheel skirts. I'll hafta try the local sign shop.

Not to mention they charge for the signs themselves, you would think the candidates would be giving them away if they want in office so bad.

[meemooer]

thats my problem too. No colorplast, just coat hangers and cellophane

Woohoo, stopped at a local sign shop today, got a 1' x 5' piece of scrap coroplast for nuthin'. Wheel skirts are comin'!
