Also check your hardware stores and WalMart. Some For Sale signs are made from sheets of styrene. The printing is silkscreened or tamp screened on. Easy to sand it off. A large House For Sale sign will yield a lot of styrene.

Another potential source are commercial sign shops.

NickRummy's got some great deals on styrene. More then likely a better deal then you'll find elsewhere as well.

(hope he still has his vendors star, LOL)
