I have to make a sign for my brother, and im trying to find some laminated plastic.

I cant find any material anywhere, its either way too big, therefore exspensive, or not in the uk.

Does anyone know where i can get some from, or even know the correct name for it?
Cheers , simon

What sort of sign do you have to make for him & what sort of size? Lots of different types of plastic/foam available. Bit more detail about what your looking for & someone will probably tell you what it's called.

Think this stuff is called "traffolyte", look at UK Engraving Services laser engraving machines, service and repairs (http://www.ukengravingservices.co.uk)
I've not used them so not a recommendation

Traffolyte is a trade name in much the same way as Perspex I believe but does sound like the sort of thing you are after, try searching for engraving laminate, you should find what you are looking for from a range of different suppliers.

If you can get the plain sheets then make your own? plumbers pvc glue or even some acetone will glue them together
