Tried your local sign shop? That is where I get mine.

I bought some in Moncton this summer,think the company was called Lairds Plastics,they sold it by the sheet[4x8]

I know Home Depot sells sheets, but can't remember the thickness.

DaveJohansen · 10-04-2010, 10:54 PM

Home Depot is 4mm. I've checked with Laird Plastics in Calgary. They want about $11 a sheet but $150 freight charge as they claim Laird Plastics do not stock 2mm in Canada. So I'm still hunting too.

Check your local new car dealer, they put up corroplast signs for sales then toss them after.

Yes, my local sign shop owner is the President of our club and HIS supplier says "no 2mm in the warehouse"....so it's the thickness that is the problem.

We have one 2mm Mugi flying here on a BP2212/6 and it'a a blast and when it does go in like a lawn dart..it is tough..! So the search for 2mm goes on..!

appreciate the replies,

Bill

You'll be hard pressed to find 2mm at sign shops anywhere. It's not used in the sign ndustry.

Your best bet is ND Graphics at www.ndgraphics.com They have locations across the country, and will order you in 1 sheet if that's all you want. Usually takes about 2 weeks, but they will tell you longer.

They have a location in Dartmouth.

...called Dartmouth, no 2mm, says they have not seen 2mm in years, lots of 3mm in stock, said I should try Laird..! (Club builder says 3mm too thick)

OK.. called back ndgraphics to see about ordering 2mm coroplast..! They say it is not available in Canada BUT can be ordered in with a 10 sheet minimum order. If we pick it up at their Dartmouth location...white sheets would be about $11. each with color sheets a buck more.

So now we have to find "users" for up to 10 sheets..!

thanks again for the help...
