Where do you get bulk styrene?

[slobin3d]

I am trying to find 8x11 .020 styrene in bulk 30-50 Pcs. I've seen people with boxes of it and I really don't want to buy 20 (5) packs at 6 bucks a piece. Any scale scratch builders got the hook up?

have you ordered from them, can you get sizes smaller then the 48x96 they show on the site?

I don't know, never dealt with them. I just googled "bulk styrene" and it lead me to another forum where someone asked the same question you did, and that is where they pointed him. It was mentioned that he ask to have it cut down for ease of shipping, so I would assume that they can.

I get all of my Plastic from Colorado Plastics. I could have sworn I once saw they had shipping service. You could email them and ask.

See if you have a nearby TAP plastics store, they sell in large quantities, or a giant sheet. Someone on Scale bought a big sheet or so a little while ago and said it was worth it.

Cutting is where plastic shops hit you with $$$.

Buy a sheet and cut them yourself, make profit.

That said, your 8x11 size is oddball in the plastic world (my company deals with plastic sheets daily). 12x12 would be a much more common and cheaper size.

We deal with this place on small cut pieces when we don't have resources to do internal cutting. Shows 50 pieces of 0.020 in 12x12 @ $16 total.
