    I almost didn't find them in Home Depot because they are NOT where the other sign stuff is. they are back where plexiglass and stuff like that is, buy the doors i think, in my store.

    I bought poster board but it is not acid free. It tells you right on the board if it is but since there is no label stating that there is no acid means there is acid in it? I went to the elmers web site and it explained that if it were acid free it would say it and it doesn't. did I make sence? I asked at home depot and they said they don't carry it. I guess they could special order it. I shoulda asked.

    My DH and I were going to cut and sell orders here on the board but we did not have enough interest. Where you live there no sign shops? I hope you are able to work this out it really is so nice to see what I have.
    Thanks for looking at my "tute". Have a wonderful day :thumbup: :-D :thumbup:

    There were two sign shops I stopped at and one didnt' sell the boards. the other wanted 117 to purchase a sheet. That seems a little high.. I think That home depot might special order. That could be pricey too.

    Our Home Depot had 32"x24" sheets, at $5.75 a sheet. I bought 18 sheets, and plan to spend today cutting and organizing. What a great idea this is!

    The coroplast I purchased was 4'X8' and cost me $17.00 then my husband cut it up for me. I felt like I got a great deal.
    happy folding!!! :thumbup: :-D

    I went on line to home depot and this time found a box of 48x96inches for 100 dollars plus.. I think that is really good. However thats for 10 sheets. and the store (sign shop) wanted 117 for one sheet. So, I am going to order it from Home depot. See if they can deliver it to the store.

    Correction, the stuff I bought was 36"x24". I would have loved to buy bigger sheets, but the sign stores around here were charging ridiculous prices for sheets that big, and I wanted some stuff to work with immediately. And the 3'x2' could fit in our car ;) I'm cutting it myself with a utility knife and my plastic rulers. It's pretty easy, just a little time consuming.
