4x8 sheets of chloroplast!

I was at Home Depot last night and found they now stock 4x8 foot sheets of chloroplast. They're only $15 each, which I think is a pretty good price.
This will let me mock-up and try a complete belly pan set up on my Tank.
Just a heads up. I don't know if this was already brought up and I'm late to the party.
I hate being late to parties.

Where did you find it in the store? I doubt if I walk in and ask for coroplast that the associates will Kant what I'm talking about.

It's with the plexiglass and Lexan, next to the garage door openers.
I'm headed there shortly, and I'll confirm the price again.

Othello style, black on one side, and white on the other? Other members have mentioned it, but always said that you needed to order ten, and it was over a hundred dollars for all of them.

My computer said that coroplast is misspelled and recommends chloroplast, but I was bullied the one time that I used that spelling.

Meanies!

They've offered coroplast at some stores, but the way for most people to get it was the online 10 pack shipped to store. When I ordered my 10 pack a few months ago, the store I got it from didn't stock any. Now they stock the single sheets (I wonder if it's because of my order). So it looks like their expanding the availability.

The 10 pack is a little cheaper than the single sheets, but it has gone up a bit to $135 (it was $110-120 when I got mine). 48 in. x 96 in. x .157 in. White Corrugated Plastic Cardboard (10-Pack)-WC4896-10 - The Home Depot

Chloroplast: photosynthetic organelle in plant cells

Coroplast: portmanteau of "corrugated plastic"
