united/coroplast

[pigeon]

It sounds like archival grade coroplast
is something most conservation framers could use, but it seems mighty hard to get in a reasonable quantity. Now that United Mfrs is on board the
Grumble, maybe with a litte lobbying they might be able to distribute it.
Any chance, United?

You raise a good point, pigeon. Archival corroplast is not readily available. If United would stock it -- and maybe cut it into UPS-shippable sizes, that would be very handy.

But if that doesn't happen, would anyone be interested in a regional group buy? Perhaps a Grumbler would be willing to shop around and purchase a case of the boards for the best price, and then split it among the participants, who would either come and get it or pay the added shipping costs to their shops.

We did this with Mylar-D last year and bought more than 40 rolls of it. The deal saved money for all in the group.

Jim,

(a tip of the hat to Ruth!)
A group buy is a thought. Would have to get Coroplast's blessing.
