    If so I think you may have to order it.

    If it's the stuff I'm thinking of, I thought you could buy it in the supply shop in the Art College or the art place near Fountain Centre behind Boots in Belfast.

    I used stuff in uni that was a layer of foam sandwiched between layers of thick card which when cut, held it's shape.

    For some of us that was only a decade ago. For you that would be a whole generation ;) :rotfl:

    Hi there

    I recently needed foamboard and came across it on ebay

    I cannot post a link as I am a new member

    however if you check on ebay

    type in foamboard

    the seller was sign display direct they are top rated seller

    I ordered a few sheets and it was delivered to my house

    very impressed, there are different sizes available, but have a look and there is a number on there to ring and I found them quite helpful too

    hope this helps

    gahh

    Try HD Finch on the lisburn road - it's not cheap though.
    There's also a place in Antrim that stocks it. I can't remember the name but it's a picture framing business in a business park close to Asda
