Coroplast...?
 

Is it best to try to get it from a local sign company??

Also, I noticed on there webste, they list gauge, as in thickness, whats recomended for bellypan use?

also, roughly, whats the pricing on it?

Thanks,

sign shop or plastic company and about 11-12 bucks for a 4x8 sheet, if I remember right

I went to Lowe's they didn't know what it was. I pointed to a box made of it. They gave me boxes free.

thanks

Depending on where you are, try also a reprographics (formerly called a blueprint shop) house such as Ridgeways... they will have it and other products like it.

I'm a Manufacturing Engineer, and believe it or not, I've never heard of this stuff!

Even in college while taking my Composites class, it never came up.

So my question is, why does this seem to be the material of choice?

Why not fiberglass, for example? Cost, workability, availability....?

Local glass suppliers (window glass) may have it

i have a sign shop about 8 minutes from my house, so i'ma going to try them

Mine cost a bit more, but I ordered it special. $30 for a 4'x8' sheet of black coroplast.

Jon M, coroplast is ideal because of its corrosion resistance, durability, lightweight, and its easy to work with. You can't really ask for more than that. :)

Check out the Coroplast site... it's pretty self-explanatory.
