Tools 'n' Tips Article by Mike Oulie at Mike's Custom Plastic 

 

I am a hobbyist who enjoys vacuforming polystyrene and being creative. When I decided to start this pastime, I collected a lot of information on it and found that one of the spoilers of this hobby is that there is a lack of places on the web to buy plastic cheaply and in large quantities. Also, the sizes offered on hobby sites or in hobby stores were never quite the right sizes that I needed. They were always too short, too long, etc. My goal is to provide the plastic that you want and need at a fraction of the cost of the big hobby retailers.

 

I sell plastic for any vacuforming or scratch building project and can customize any size or shape up to 4'x8' dimensions. Custom sizing is totally free on all orders! The plastic comes in any thickness available and is of excellent quality.

See the "Products and Pricing" below to see a complete list of the plastic products I sell.
