Jez Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Ok, so I am sure that there are two sizes for corrugated card that we use for cladding. Does anybody know the measurements or sizes they are? Also does anyone have some pics to compare? I want to clad my britains atcost buildings in it but cant find any of the smaller type.

SMurF Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 If you have one near to you try hobbystores They have shed loads of the small stuff in plain white or a selection of coulours in a pack If not try one of those places that do card making they should have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peel the face off one side and get rid of the bits left behind with a suede brush. Looks good and quite fine corrugations. Some sweet boxes are a good supply too.

powerrabbit Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 TM190, the card you have pictured is exactly the same stuff that I pictured except for the colour. The shop where I found mine only had the fawny colour but with a grey primer spray it looks the bizz, hav'nt done anything with it yet though.

Ok, so I am sure that there are two sizes for corrugated card that we use for cladding.
Does anybody know the measurements or sizes they are?
Also does anyone have some pics to compare? I want to clad my britains atcost buildings in it but cant find any of the smaller type.
