2 days back I went to kutchery road and luz corner in chennai to find coro or depron sheets I asked each and every shop for the stuff. I carried an sample piece of both but didn't find it there I asked where do you get it they told near Express avenue mall you may get it.

Will go there once my parents find some time.

thanks for the reply but I already know that they have it.they have only epp and hd foam which i am not looking for i am looking for coro only. I took that depron sample to see if any store has it if yes i could post it here and let everyone know about it so they could benefit from it.

why only coro epp is one of the best and is very rare in india u will enjoy building from it just try it rather than roaming in the city for a specific thing... just a suggestion :)

you are right but one sheet of 10mm costs around rs. 500 which is to much and the dimensions is also quiet small 1 metre * 50cm. but will try my best to get it. I want coro because I want to build any of those taitil sir's builds which are fantastic and for one more reason I can't tell.

I have to even cut that thing using an hot wire cutter to bring it to more thin sheets of 5mm. another option is getting blue foam one sheet of 25mm from supreme petro chemicals I've contacted them and they can supply with one sheet seperately. But I've to cut it vertically which is a pain. I have a good design in my mind this one http://hotwirefoamcutterinfo.com/_HorizontalTableDesign.html
but before that I want to finish my current build of the hot wire cutter. then i will go for that one. we can use it to cut out the wings also

hey guys
help me out here
i need to get some coro sheets for my project so could u suggest some places to look for in chennai

KALYANPRODHAN

Very easy. Go to nearest press printing house. ask them for supply. When u ask for the full size, they will request you to collect from the CORO shop and you will be informed. SOme advertisement board Coro sheet may be used for free, collecting from posts of road used for displaying advertising. Many of us used those. You can have a try.
We have to unite and to prove ourself to make indigenous products as well as marketing / Canvasing them. I'm sure we must achieve success if we try unitedly.

Hi Mus,
I think Sharma Model Aero are the distributors of Dremel in the country. Call them and ask who they are supplying in MUMBAI or order direct from them...

Coro should be available. Go on online sites like JustDial.com and search for signboard printers. These people print signboards on either Flex material, or Coroplast (and some other materials)
Coroplast in many places is also called Sunpack sheet.

Hello Sir,
Depron is not available in Lucknow as told by Yash. But, if you need coroplast, then it is available in abundance in Naka market and also at Laatoosh Road. There are many dealers who keep coro sheets from 2mm - 10mm thickness and even more.

No thanks Utkarsh... I am looking for Depron only.... as I will be using it to make tailplanes for my models... Generally my models are big in size and coro may not be the best thing for them.  Presently I am either using Balsa sheets or HD Thermocol supported by Balsa spar.

I am a beginner, I used biofoam (that's what the shopkeeper told me) 8mm to make FT versa wing. It seems to be too heavy.

Does anyone have any idea where I could find dollartree foamboard (about 3 to 4mm thickness) or any other alternative in Udaipur??
