Well I bought one off ebay..

[Fivetide]

i get 99% of my tooling etc through ebay(china for carbides... you have to patient)

davis industrial plastics(online) for my plastic stock
acetal machines really nice and may make half decent molds as you cant bond it without some serious pissing around with posh chemicals (or scorching it with a flame in an emergency....but it will lose its shape really easily and the fumes make your head bang)

theres a local plastics supplier that i keep meaning to pop into but never get around to :)

LOL sounds good I'll get some samples from them .. i'll ask my mate about soft metal suppliers in this area .. I also like the sound of this "Corian" looking at it on the tinterweb and it can do alot of different things ..:) and I just found a supplier not to far away in preston .. http://www.solidsurfaces-northwest.co.uk/materials
