Try your local sign makers. None of the big shops like B&Q sell any of this type of stuff, all they have is 3mm thick sheets for greenhouses. I was looking for uv reactive acrylic myself, on the internet it's very expensive and comes usually in small sizes, haven't been to any signmakers yet.

PLEASE CHECK THE FAQ, YOU CAN'T DO THAT UNLESS YOU WANT A LONG HOLIDAY FROM HERE!

Sorry to be a spoil sport here guys, but you should probably read the FAQ;

promotion of OcUK's competitors is forbidden. Examples of promotion are :-
Posting links to competitors websites
Posting links to reviews that promote competitors
Quoting the names or contact details of competitors
Offering to provide the names or contact details of competitors
Hinting about product availability at competitors and their pricing
Using the forums to notify a member of intent or actual supply of names or contact details of competitors
Listing competitors names, URL's or e-mail addresses in signatures
Listing competitors names, URL's or e-mail addresses in profile
Posting links to or the mentioning of auction sites
Disguising attempts to do any of the above

The stuff is available in the uk from certain competitors, but you'll have to use google to find it im afraid. And the PMs have always been disabled btw.

Hi,

I bought some UV Blue Acrylic from these people:

Don't think there a competitor if they are I will delete.

Hope that helps

I've used glowshop.com a couple times for UV plastics, paint and lights but their acrylic sheet selection isn't as good as it used to be.

Dear lord, this is a SHOPS forum, why would they promote custom elsewhere, they pay for it and charge nothing for the service.

Would you like it if I came into your house and slated every item you own, then broke half of them?

erm thats a bit different than someone posting a link to something to someone who sells something you dont!if i could buy the stuff i wanted from ocuk i would as the last £1350 i spent on a pc build was with yourselves and the £3000 i will be spending on components will probably be too.well actually there aint a point if your gonna come to my house and smash half of them

i have a goodmans dvd,an aiwa midi system and some trust speakers so slate away

trip-checked the glowshop site out and theres a few things that i can use but they dont do the size of sheets i want as i need 6mm acrylic for certain parts of the build im planning :rolleyes:

I think you're after this sort of thing;

If you use google.co.uk you should be able to find a supplier in the UK.

And although PM is turned off, most people have their e-mail accounts enabled in trust.

Indeed. It's paid for by Overclockers UK as a business expense out of their profits which are earned from the likes of us buying things from them. We have a symbiotic relationship.

People like you (and, to a lesser extent I) actually provide the support though, like a little army of unpaid references, telling people what to buy from OcUK.

I'm a law-abiding member of society though so I obey rules.
