Hello. I’m thinking of ordering some styrene sheets but not quite sure what thickness. it needs to be thick enough to then do some resin casting with the resulting mold. available thicknesses seem to range from 0.01" to 0.10".
What thickness are people at DMS using? Or does anyone know of a variety pack sold somewhere? Any help is appreciated.

I got mine from here https://www.estreetplastics.com/Styrene-Sheets-s/23.htm
I think I have .01, .03 and 0.1 I can bring some up if you want to see how they feel for your project.

thank you. that’s kind of you. I’m there Thursday night and Sunday
I will probably be at the Space on Sunday for science stuff. I’ll bring some sheets with me.
Cool. I’ll be teaching from 12-6 pm so I’m sure I’ll catch you sometime in that range

I have been using either 0.050" or 0.090" plexiglass that you can get at Home Depot.

good tip. thank you.
I have been having some issues with the Plexiglas bubbling. Doing some more reading, it looks like it probably needs to be dried. Do we have and ovens we can use at the space? Maybe in Science?
