    Posted by MJ Designs on 28 August 2003 at 17:04

    Hi,

    I’m trying to find a supplier for some material we use regularly, it’s roughly .5mm thick, completely clear and comes in rolls (much like vinyl). We use it as the base to make our vehicle dials from so it has to be clear and quite rigid (but also needs to be easy to cut).

    The supplier we bought it from in the past has disappeared and I can’t seem to find it elsewhere 🙁 Does anyone have any suggestions as to what it may be and where I may get some from?

    Thanks,

    Gareth

    Hi,

    Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately Europoint say they can only supply it in packs of 25 or 50 sheets. This is obviously way too much, does anyone have any suggestions where I would be able to get one sheet from?

    Hi Gareth,

    If it’s just one sheet your after and thats all you need, then why not just ask for a sample sheet.

    But… if your going to use it quite alot, 25 sheets isn’t so bad!

    Hi Lorraine,

    Thanks for the suggestion, i’ve already got a few A4 sample sheets. The problem is that the sheets come in quite large sizes and i’d never use all of them so it’d be a waste of money.
