Where to buy Polystyrene?

[wastedgriny]

Hey Guys,
I am thinking about making a fake background for my beardies enclosure and I was wondering where i could get enough polystyrene.
could I just go down to Bunnings or Masters. by the way I live in Cairns so I know there must be some of it here. The length is 120cm and height 60cm.

Thanks in Advance. Griny

Go to Harvey Norman, retravision, bing lee, good guys and ask their staff if they have any, they generally have a heap out the back or out in the big bin outside.... I've had sugar loads from them and best of all..... It's free!!!!

Search yellow pages for polystyrene - that's what I did here in Townsville and found a company that does insulation/cold rooms. Cheap too Otherwise, do what most seem to do and look around your local Harvey Norman or supermarkets...

I got mine from the Harvey Norman dumpster, they said to help myself any time. The good part is a lot of what I got (the moulded stuff) is really high density tough stuff. I also got quite a bit of flat sheet which varied in density and thickness.

Fruit a veg shops are another good place for foam boxes. They're normally a dense foam that has the benefit of having flat and even sides which make glueing pieces together very easy

Clark rubber they do thin to the really thick stuff if you want to just cut into it
