UK Supplier for laminate rol?

[dogzilla]

So laminating EPP is all the rage and I want to do that to my EPP wing.

Anyone have a good supplier in the UK for laminate roll for this purpose? Any idea what sort of micron thickness I should be getting?

Hi Dogzilla
what sort of laminate are you talking about I know this might be a dumb question but I am a newbie after all.

Hi G (Got the name correct this time )
the cost on your link is stunning this material is usually designed for the sign makers market for vehicle graphics and is exspensive, a cheaper alternative is to pop into your local sign shop and get some printed in whatever design you want.

P.S
I work for a company that sells the equipment to print onto the rolls of self adhesive materials for the sign trade.

I'm talking about plastic laminate, the sort of stuff that you might use to laminate paper or signs or whatever.

It's supposed to be excellent for EPP planes. so much so you don't have to bother with strapping tape. Just laminate the whole thing.

Only problem is I can only find suppliers selling 50 meter rolls.

Dogzilla,

I have 2no 100m rolls of the stuff (less some given to mates)

If you are anywhere near me (Darlington) you can have some for free, I think the rolls are 600mm wide (I'm not up for posting it out though)

Same applies to any FPV buddies up north..... if you can get to Darlington you can have some.

I might take you up on that PK when I am back in the Boro visiting the parents.

No problem, just PM me when you are coming up this way next  :)

Unfortunately I'm a southern softy so Darlington is way too far for me!

Giantcod don't sell it. Please read before posting ;)

I've looked throughout the forum and I cannot find the information I need, that is why I posted this thread in the first place.

Right now I'm probably gonna end up stumping up for a 50m roll of stuff from bindingsupplies.co.uk.

[dogzilla]

I've just ordered 50m roll of of 125micron high gloss laminate, 635mm wide.

I'll let you know how it all goes down onto my EPP wing.

If anyone is interested I'll be selling the stuff by the meter because I don't need 50 meters of the stuff. Cost price works out to be £1/meter plus whatever p+p costs. It should be wide enough to cover most things.
