Thanks in advance, Mike Mike Mautner Maryland Hts., MO Date: 08/12/18 16:53 Re: Looking for a source of styrene sheet Author: sixaxlecentury Plain styrene sheet is avalible in 4x8' sheets at most platic supply houses, usually about 15$. The ribbed stuff I doubt you will find outside of Evergreen.

They buy it in large qualities. Do you have a college or university close by teaching architecture? Ask one of the professors for a supplier.

If your talking ribbed as in board and batten siding or tilt up concrete buildings you could cut strips out of sheet on a table saw with a fine tooth paneling blade.
