ihatepoundland Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I usually buy it in a shop and just buy what feels right, but now I need to buy some online but I can't think what the best thickness would be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 What are you using it for Rob?? I tend to always have a selection and use different thickness's for different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 depends on what your making really ,i tend to use 1mm and .5 mm does most things i want, although i have to agree i do tend to prefer feeling in the shop just to be sure,buy a lot of the other profiles ect online though as they are all much the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 Making allsorts so guess I better get a selection, just trying to work out what would be the extremes i.e too thin/thick, around .5 to 1.5mm sounds about right I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 just get one of each to be safe, order more when your happy, i do prefer going to a shop though as i like to see what i'm after :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 I'd love to go to a shop, but when at home it costs more in petrol than it does to have the stuff delivered, and thats based on not finding it within that radius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Well .75 to 1mm was about right...cheers peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 You might find that this guy is quite useful for styrene sheets, thought his prices were quite reasonable for the sizes he has. Handy too as he's only a couple of miles away from me http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZstationQ2droadQ2dbaseboards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
