Most sign sheet distributors/manufacturers would have it or Mulford Plastics did.

You could get large sheets of 2 or 3mm thick from them.

G day Michael, contacted Mulfords, would only sell in bulk box (13sheets) cost $1149-00. 5mm gauge :crs: , Found a foam manufacturer bought 32 pieces 500x1200x40 mm :clap: for $140-00.or $4-85 per piece, works out each wharf will have 3 pieces made up in L section configuration, the outside of the "L" will allow a SPRUANCE to be tied up .the inside leg of the "L" will take up for Adelaide class FFG or smaller vessels. Will post pics once we get underway. Cheers graham
