LF: black egg crate

[claynelson]

looking for black egg crate in saskatoon or edmonton or between the 2.

[Blink]

Never seen it for sale in Canada, only in the states.

I'd also be interested if you find a source.

I've only ever seen white or metallic

[msjboy]

shops in usa will send it up here ( eg eplastics.com) and the stuff is the better more rigid type being 3/8" thick than the flimpsy stuff everyone buys at your ronas/lowes/home depots... about $14 I believe for the white 3/8".

You can also try industrial plastics, or any commercial ceiling or commercial fluorescent lighting company - ask around your lighting stores and they might give you a reference. Up here in Vancouver, looking for the stuff myself, one sheet of black is between $27 and $35.00 ( compared to a 3/8" white sheet being around $14.)

[claynelson]

No such thing as pisces in Edmonton although I wish there was

I bought mine at a drywall supplier in Edmonton, west end. I can't remember the name of the place. It was a few years ago. Maybe Dryco?

[claynelson]

HA. being from Saskatoon and just in Edmonton for the weekend unless someone has it at there house I see me ordering a sheet.

I only need a small piece so its possible to cut and ship some out to who ever needs some.

[CM125]

how big a piece do you need? I have some scrap lying around...

[Karsten]

I have seen it at pisces in Calgary by the frozen food

[Delphinus]

Not sure if this helps or not but ... here goes nevertheless: I once ordered some from an electrical supplier down here in Cowtown. The stuff was easy enough to source, the kicker was that it's something like 5x the cost of white eggcrate. I had sort of come to the conclusion if I ever wanted more, I'd just go with white from where-ever, and then get some Krylon Fusion black paint (well documented on the forums to be safe under the waterline, can get it at Cdn Tire) and paint it black myself.
