[AstroBoy]

Hi, to all the seniors in electric foamie flyers out there, may i know where can i purchase 6mm thick "Depron" foam?
I'm thinking of scratch-building some electric planes out of Depron foam.
Wanted to do a search on the yellow pages initially but thought i gave it a try at this forum hopeful to get answers/replies, thanks in advance guys!

Thanks Brat, i went there yesterday, 5mm thick white foam sheets, asked them were these depron foam sheets, they don't even know, sign...... problem is, i also never (touched/see with my own eyes) depron foam before too, so i could not tell for sure if those are depron foam. Heck, there are just so many types of foam, Hey foam flyers, share some secrets leh, where you get depron foam, thanks in advance

My secret?

Asked for "compressed foam".

[loyn]

Sorry if not miss taken it may not be available in Singapore, use to found one shop selling 3 mm type compressed foam but now they are closed.

I use those 5 mm compressed foam board for my building but have to cut them down in to diff thickness if you found it too thick for your project...... not that easy

Ok thanks guys, looks like compressed foam may not be depon foam, but heck, bought them anyways to try

[oceanus]

They are not, but they share the same basic material. Anyway, I think they call it compact foam instead of compressed foam. It has a hard and shiny surface that may require sanding for better glue joints. I learnt that about 10 years ago when I used it to build a foam gas plane. The epoxy glue joints will like to debond at areas that contact with the shiny surfaces.

Depron, styrofoam or compact foam, they are all polystyrene. Only different in process.

OK, Thanks for the information guys

rcgroups.com seem to be raving all about FFF- Fan Fold Foam.

There seems to be a lot of ppl enquire about this type of foam, perhaps just for interest check for feasibility of a Mass Order/ Combine order, who is interested to get some?

[loyn]

I am, but only for thin one like 3mm or so.

[Phenomenon]

anymore show of hands? Dun worry,the transaction is all transparent between the whole MO group. I love this hobby, I dun earn U a single cent

Wah if only the two of us, the freight and total cost(MOQbuy) /2 is going to kill us!

I'm also interested in getting 2mm/3mm/4mm Good quality Depron and EPP sheets of that dimension( in realistic price!!!)

Anymore ppl interested?
