Best place to order some 1/64 ply
« on: February 28, 2012, 07:15:34 PM »
At least 12 x 24 sheets.  Shipping is outrageous most places for only a sheet or two.

Zuriel,
Those places don't have anything thinner than 1/16, and it's lite ply at that.  They quit carrying the good stuff a couple years ago at least.  The new hobby store does not have plywood, neither does Fox or HT in Ft Smith.  Ordering is the only option for me.

The Michaels in my area doesn't.  I looked when there last month.

I get my aircraft plywood from National Balsa. They have choices on the number of ply laminations and sheet sizes.

At the above link, found a two by four foot sheet.   I have a friend who goes near there a couple times a year.   Maybe get a sheet in a few months.  Should be enough to last a long time.
