    Cardboard for templates???

    Hi Landy Lovers,

    I need to make up some templates, but can't find a place to get it.
    Can you reccomend anywhere???

    I need some flat sheet. And a fair bit of tube (maybe around 40mm) x 20 or so.

    If I have no luck, I will have to make it out of 40mm DWV tube which will cost allot more!

    Hope you can help.

    Cheers in advance Cal

    Go to a printer, they will have sheets, probably 650 x 910mm and they call it 'strawboard'. It is sthe stuff they use for the back of notepads, etc.

    Arts supply will have all sorts of card thickness, could probably roll your own tube depending on what you need it for/strength?

    Coreflute, the plastic stuff used for realestate agents' signs, can be got from signwriters in 1200 X 2400mm sheets , if smaller will do there are 900 X 600mm sheets are $7 at bunnnings

    cuts easily & keeps its shape, I have even covered it with vinyl for replacement door linings for the county
