Looking for one offcut of composite panel
Hi. Several people here have built enclosed trailers using rigid sandwich panel. I can't seem to find any sources for a smallish piece.
I'm looking for about 450 x 600 (or a little bigger, up to 600 x 750) in either 20 or 25mm thickness. I don't mind if the sides are aliminium of a hard plastic, nor if the core is foam or honeycomb material - it just has to light and rigid.....
Any idea where I might find something like that? What common industry do I look in or phone up?
Cheers.Cheers, Joe

Southeast plastics in Braeside do half sheets.
They've got an ad on gumtree - search for "composite panel"

Refrigerator/Cool Room manufacturers would be my guess. Some Sheet Metal fabricators may have some as well
Just do it!
Kind regards Rod

Thanks for those responses. As you can imagine, I had already found the eBay and Gumtree offers....
I will however check out the local sign writers. Good idea Michael.
Failing that, next time I'm in the Southern suburbs of Melbourne, I'll see if I can call in at Breaside (a 3 hr drive from here).Cheers, Joe

It is also used by caravan manufacturers.

Would a 490x520x28 piece of fiberglass skin over aluminum honeycomb core do the job?
Currently sitting on my workbench at home if you want it.

Braeside is really really close to me if that helps, I could stash it for a weekend pickup?
