Terry does it have to be the “real thing” because metamark do a brushed alluminium vinyl “looky likey” that you could put on top of foamex and then letter .mmmm 😳 😳 ude have a hard time engraving it though

if it doesn’t have to be the real thing, you can buy leboard from europoint, an 8×4 foot sheet of brushed ally leboard is about £40 now that’s cheap and has a snazzy finish to it. i haven’t tried engraving it yet but because its made the same way as di bond “sandwiched” once engraved it will expose its black core so no need for back-filling with colour.

will you be doing the engraving yourself mate? if not, most engravers will hold brushed ally sandwich board in stock anyway… i don’t know who we buy our engraving laminates from but if you don’t have luck by Monday ill look it out and post the details.

Rob, I asked Europoint about this the other day and was told they did’t do it, so I had to quote useing Dibond(twice the price).

I will need to phone again on Monday to check.

nah dave… they do… give’em a shake mate… 😉 they are messing you about mate. 😉 😀
ask for cameron, explian you are UKSG and you are after some. nice bloke and will kew
eep you right. 😉
so far, my only grumble about leboard is its limited clours etc, but great substrate none the less. 😉

I did something similar for someone ages ago – used brushed aluminium vinyl, and for the engraving ( which was only thin outlines ) just used the cutter on a light weight setting so it didnt cut all the way through – looked pretty convincing.
