Does anyone have any smaller pieces i could buy? I can only find whole sheets and I don't need a 4' x 8' sheet. Boatoutfitters.com doesn't carry that color. Thanks Harvey

Do you have location or number for your local TAP store? Wezie I've found a couple of sources for pieces or fabricated parts but i haven't found any that use the Sanshade color. I called West Marine twice and they said they didn't sell sheets or pieces. Do you have a local store that might have a clue? Thanks Harvey

I can check out his leftovers if I had some dimensions. Sandshade is a special order from him and he prefers selling full sheets but.....who knows, I can ask. I contacted TAP and they only carry the Sandshade in 1/2' thickness. Sells for $15.60 a square foot. They used to have a cutting charge but the person answering the phone said no charge for rectangular cuts. The weight adds up quick with this material and I would recommend extra reinforcement if possible and going with the thinner stuff. My spoils will be close to 1 ft x 8 ft;3 ft x 2 ft; 4 ft x 2 ft.. I may size up to 1/2" thick. Still debating. Garris

I have to check the pliability of the 1/2" with a 3/4" crown over a 5 ft span. Planing this stuff would make an environmental hazard. I have worked with it and it makes the styrofoam packing bubbles look clean. Using the thicker material will only increase my weight by 25 lbs. Once I get a price on the sheets I can cut them here to make them more reasonable to ship. My email is in my profile so feel free to contact me there. I read about an additive that prevents mildew/moss type growth and would probably go that route. I live among redwoods and firs and have a very organic air around me. Garris
