Superpants Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Whilst it's expensive, I can't say I'm suprised- handling a full sheet of floppy ally without damging it isn't the easiest job. Do you actually need a full sheet? You may well find that having it cut will reduce the costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
