FS: Vacuum forming plastic! PICS
I have access to 2'x2' sheets of polystyrene plastic sheets that would be absolutely perfect for vacuum forming. They are 0.080" (2mm) thick. I work at a hardware store so I can get my staff discount on them. I'd be able to sell the sheets for $10 each + shipping, and then cut them to smaller sizes based on your specifications to reduce the cost of shipping.
If anybody is interested, let me know.

As long as I work at Rona! As for not having a vac-table, just build one! I built mine with scrap MDF I had laying around and I did it in an hour and a half. Works really well too. I'll put up some plans if anyone is interested.

If I build one, I will probably make a really small one. Makes storage and building it easier, and the suction will work better over a smaller area.

Yeah, mine has a 12"x12" forming area.
