Help finding materials Please......
 

I have read everything I can find on vac forming but I just cannot find a supplier of clear or black sheets to make a canopy from. As I live in the UK there does not appear to be anyone selling the Petg or styrene sheets here. I was going to use a pop bottle but it is just way to small for what I need to make.

Or is the material known by a different name in Europe. Please can someone point me to a supplier of say 12"x18" sheets in the UK.

Thanks in advance.

Use low temperature iron on from 21st Century. This is how mine came out. I also have a couple that I painted with regular latex paint. Water it down a little and it will spread much easier.
