for some DIY i need a large sheet (12 inches X 3 ft) of the plastic wood stuff thats about 2mm thick and you can buy to iron onto the edge of chipboard - can you buy that stuff in sheets? and from where????

Never seen it available anywhere as a diy type thing.

I have used it though in my old car hifi install days as my mate was a pro (I just helped out with some R&D and messing about type stuff).

He used to get "rolls" of all sorts of this type of material from a shopfitter mate. Its on rolls to allow for counters etc to be covered.

Had some real fun making marble look car installs Peoples faces were a classic when they thought you had fitted out a fullboot install in marbe

So as a last resort try a few shopfitters and see if any use it or can get some for you, not sure if its the norm to use this or not.

Tiggs, I used to work for a company that make the real wood veneer for cars, they'd have loads of stuff 1 - 2mm thick real wood sheet, they'd probably give you as much as you want if you asked nicely It's not iron-on but it's the real Mcoy, if your can get to Nottingham http://www.lawrence-automotive.com/

Tiggs try a company that refurbishes kitchens, I've had stuff from a company called 'The Worktop Centre' in Macclesfield 01625 662020 before, it came 620mm wide rolls in any wood effect you liked. It was self adhesive rather than iron on.
