You can get it from a competitor, but also most of the large DIY warehouse places to indeed sell it.

One in Kidderminster 4 months ago sold what you are after.

If ya doing it for A-levels dude then you should be able to get it as they have to

1 surplie it
2 give you evidence of where too

My mates a teachers so this is how i knows

They dont have to supply it, I had to pay for the unusual components of my GCSE tech project.

They have to do nothing but say, you can buy it from somewhere else.

Unless it is in your course spec that they have to. Although As may be different to what I experienced.

Depending on the size you need, a local signmaker may have an off cut for you, or be able to sell you a sheet/bit

A large nationwide DIY shop that will remain anonymous

stocks large sheets for between £10 and £20 depending on thickness i think

Neon green acrylic is the new blue cathode as I understand it.
