Mountboard

Ballyman

Anyone know where I can get some white and/or black mountboard that I can cut myself in the Kildare/West Dublin area?

Preferably minimum A2 size or similar.

Cheers

I think easons have it? I dont know where the nearest one is. Try www.goldenpages.ie for art shops in kildare too.

O'Sullivans & Easons do it.

We get 20x16 boards at DCC for €1 each for members.

amd mouldings in rathcoole

sisslings in sandyford


if you go to easons or art & hobby shops you will get much smaller pieces for the same price as if you went to amd or sisslings

Speaking of which, is there a cheap place (retail) in town to get foamcore ? I got a bunch of it a couple of weeks back but its exppppppensive !

Where is sisslings in sandyford ? Is it in sandyford industrial estate ?

Most school supply shops will have it. The Art and Hobby Shop also do it but it is a little more expensive. If you wanted it regularly enough I would buy it on ebay or online from the UK and save yourself a fortune.

Tis a nightmare cutting the fecking stuff though...

i have a mount cutting machine and can cut up to 6mm deep i think, will do straight and bevels so i dont have a big problem cutting it

i tend to avoid it a little as its not that stable, over time it will warp quite a bit

i tend to prefer either corrie board or double sided hardboard, or for thinkness MDF

but it does depend on the application

Check out Cork Art Supplies. They have good prices, and shipping is cheap - AFAIK €8 odd next day shipping for any amount (mountboard is HEAVY).
