Which material for aero mods?
I wen to Home Depot and they don't carry coroplast. So I looked around and here are the materials I found could be used. Opinions welcome.
I put thumbs down on materials that are too impractical. For example the tarp like flexible materials would require some support/backing, though most look quite strong. I feel like Polywall, black runner and the gray carpet runner might be good candidates... Lumber/Bath :thumbup: $19.98 8'x4' Polywall White, sold in sheets Similar to cheap showers, thin plastic, semi-rigid but flexible Bath :thumbup: $5.25 4'x1' PVC Shower Pan Liner $5.95 5'x1' Gray, sold in rolls Very flexible and similar properties to heavy garbage bags, but much-much thicker like 1mm Windows :thumbdown: $8.79 8"x12" 3/32" thick Lexan Transparent, sold in sheets Bends but brittle/brakes Flooring :thumbdown: $17.25 500sqft Aquabar paper Brown or black heavy paper or fabric? Flooring/Carpeting :thumbup: $1.97 27"xlin.ft Vinyl Matting Black with ribs on one side and hatcmarks on other Pretty light, flexible but holds itself some like all plastic runners :thumbup: $1.89 27"xlin.ft Clear Vinyl Mediteranean Transparent, smooth Flexible like heavy vinyl carpet runners. :thumbdown: 27"xlin.ft Low pyle vinyl runner Transparent, spikes on one side Flexible though less than previous, yet lighter and thinner. $1.97 26"xlin.ft Tracker Gray Utility walking mat/runner Low gray carpet on one side and plastic on the other A little heavier than previous ones, but could double as soundproofing. Also more rigid. Flooring/Hardwood $24.97 25'x48" 2-in-1 foam under layment blue packaging style plastic foam glued on a plastic sheet back, 1 or 2mm thick Flexible like the PVC shower pan liner but ultra light :thumbup: $33.97 20'x30" 3-in-1 Silent step underlayment green rubberish foam, feels like exercise mats $13.95 12'x10' 6mm polyurethane film Blue Feels like thick garden garbage bags. Thickness is not even close to 6mm, more like 0.5mm :thumbdown: $4.99 4'x12" WEP shelf cover Beige, 4 or 5mm thick, feels like liner Might be interresting if comming in larger sizes. |
Polywall sounds best for the way I have used coroplast.

Looks like there's stores selling corrugated plastics around here (plastic specialist). Will look into that:

Oh, looks like someone did their homework. Nice.
