I posted this except question on RPF, will also post here...
for all you vacuum/thermoforming guys out there, has anyone located a supplier for ABS that is well priced and carries 2 side gloss (non textured) ABS in 4x8' sheets gauges 0.06-0.09? That is 1.5mm-2.5mm for rough conversions.
I ask because my local supplier only has textured and I know I will get a better finish for ABS projects if i find non textured somewhere.
i have no issues with the HIPS i get locally. It's just if the texture comes through on the ABS it takes away from the gloss side.
Any help would be appreciated.
The only supplier I found online that had it, had a very decent price $60 for a 4x8' sheet of white in 0.063, BUT there was a handling charge of $144 per sheet :confused
