    Hi,

    I am looking to purchase about 5 styrofoam heads for an art project.
    Does anyone know of anywhere in IRELAND that I can get these, preferably on-line with cheap delivery?

    I have searched the 'net and yes, I know there are a few on ebay but none located in Ireland (to keep postage down!).

    All help is much appreciated.. ta!

    PS: Has anyone here heard of GRANITE SPRAY PAINT?? I need that too.. proving hard to locate, ta!

    How are ye now!?
    There's a place on sth. William st. in dublin called McGregors plastics that do them. Its a shop display suppliers so i'd imagine they're in the phone book.
    DO NOT USE SPRAY PAINT ON STYROFOAM!!!
    It'll melt it. You have to prime the styrofoam first. I've seen it happen.
    Good luck

    a) I agree...don't spray styrofoam....stinks and shrinks!

    b) GRANITE SPRAY PAINT.....try Marks Models on Hawkins street....

    I bought 2 from England, and even with exchange rates and postage, it worked out way cheaper than buying them here. They were posted very quick, and if you ask for express postage, even faster..

    Not sure about the heads, but the granite spray paint is readily available in home diy stores such as Woodies, Atlantic etc. They also have it in Lenihans on capel st and in Evans on Marys Lane in Dublin.

    If you know where Phibsboro shopping centre is, just head down in the direction of town through the junction and it will be there just on your left hand side. On the same road as the fire station. Mannequins, i dont think they have any. I was looking for one myself but ended up going online. I will PM you the link where I got mine.
