plastic strip suppliers
« on: April 09, 2008, 07:57:48 am »

Hi, anybody got a good UK source for 2mm wide, no more than 1mm thick, pleastic strip in grey or black? I have tried cutting to 2mm, but the cut is too narrow to be accurate, and I need quite a lot, so dont really want the short evergreen stuff.
Thanks

I also need some parallel strips which were long, so I used a two metre steel ruler on top of the sheet, but 'G clamped' it in three places.

Just three light strokes strokes with the Stanley knife and it came out like a machine made piece. Very satisfying to achieve the effect.

Hope this helps.

Ken
