Coroplast Is this the same thing as coroplast?

It says it's waterproof and it's the only kind of material that came up when I searched coroplast.

Yeah, corrugated plastic is just a different name.

This is coroplast I just saw it at my Home Depot yesterday. The only problem with it is that you don't get 4x8 sheets.

Looks like it. =] I got my coroplast for free though. Check around at local gas stations and grocery stores. Some of their products come shipped with pieces between them and some use them as signs for tobacco products and sales on other items. They frequently have a stack in their stock room that are just collecting dust waiting to be thrown out. There's normally pictures or text on it, but that wasn't a big deal to me.

Yeah. That's small. At sign stores they cost anywhere from $10 if you're lucky, to $25 or so. And they're 4 x 8 pieces.

When I first asked at Home Depot they had no idea what I was talking about. Well, neither did Lowes.

Most art stores carry coroplast too because it is used for signs. I did get an 8ft by 8ft sheet for 25.00 which is probably not cheap but in Canada things seem to cost much more. They had lots of colors too. Good luck with the search.

Where exactly are you located/where can you drive to? Perhaps we can help you find a supplier.

Yes. You're better off checking sign manufacturing companies. They may not advertise it as being for sale but many will sell you a sheet anyhow, especially if they know you're not using it to make a sign!
