|
|
Hi,
I would like to build a wall decoration with plateaus, etc. for my vivarium. We have been to some DIY stores but we haven't found some thick, big polystyrene panels.
Does anybody have an idea where we can buy such stuff?
Many thanks in advance! |

Could try a builders merchant..they sell sheets of polystyrene for insulation in floors etc..comes in varying thicknesses but the 50mm is the one more commonly used..usually comes in 8x4ft sheets. |

a builders merchants should have it in stock, you may prefer styrofoam than polystyrene. _________________ Andrew Tillson-Willis

Styrofoam is just that bit easier to work with using a hot wire and soldering iron, also you don't end up with little beads of polystyrene all over the place. _________________ Andrew Tillson-Willis
