    No the sheets come in to be recycled all we do ;) is chop the plastic into small pieces so it can be made into new things lol
    Sounds simple but it's not I've been doing it for 25 years and my old man for 45 :o

    Yes Ryan you are stupid lol
    The sheets are reusable but if the edges get damaged there recycled :thumbup:
    Lots are proper mangled but a a fare few are ok as there 1200x1000 you can get a nice door card out of them lol and as many thousands come in on a load I've got a nice choice even get different colours sometimeslol



    Sorry Ryan for,calling you stupid it's my Aspergers getting the better of me [:s] is my sense of humour a bit to abrasive ? My mrs says I'm an insensitive @&@&@& a lot of the time :cry:
    Love you really lol

    Sounds like a plan lol

    Each sheet is 1200x1000 x 3/4 mm thick and weights 1kg per square metre :thumbup:

    You boys are in luck as some brand new unused sheet has just come in lol

    So big question is what am I getting paid for these awsome quality sheets ;)

    How many do you guys want Ian to bring to Curby ? What size do you want them as will chop them say in half with one of my bandsaws :thumbup:

    Love to the club Mike

    I bet you can make splitters etc if you cross layer them and glue with evostic :thumbup:

    If Ian's up for delivery you guys can put in requests lol Ian's quit a nice chap and not far from me lol just depends how much room he'll have in his car ? Nige might squeeze some in if you ask him nicely ;)

    Right not gone to costco going later with the kids and mrs to have dinner and do some shopping lol

    So guys when you get my awesome sheet here's a few tips on getting a nice finish :thumbup:

    The sheet is polypropylene so is nice and tough , because this sheet is basically plastic corrugated cardboard it's very strong, durable and waterproof :thumbup:
    To cut just use a sharp knife . The sheets have a finished edge all round but you will be cutting this , to get a nicer finish on cut edges try experimenting with a scrap piece melting the cut edge and smoothing it to look like the finished edges on a new sheet edge ;) you guys following this ok ? I've not tried it yet but should work ok use a hot air gun paint stripper type :thumbup: I would cut sheet a few mm oversized if going to melt the edges as it will naturally shrink a bit :thumbup:
    Most of above is knowledge but some is just an educated guess ;)
