Where Do You Buy Sintra???

[SithDuelist45]

Hey i was just wondering what name brand stores (like Lowes, Home Depot, ect) carry Sintra PVC Sheets? For anyone out there who doesnt know what im talking about, think plywood sheets, but instead of wood its PVC/Composite. im trying to make a custom sith helmet, and i know how to make it, what measurements i need and what materials but i dont know where to get the sintra. also, would PVC/Plumbing Silicone or JB Weld be better for securing the seams (aside from the usual rivets ect). Thanks in advance to anyone who can help..

hhhhh. i know what sintra is. i can tell you that a normal harware store wont have it. you have to go to a plastic wherehouse. try googling it. i think something should show up. then maybe try searching for that store in your area. thats about all i can contribute. post pics when youre all done!!

cool thanks. ill check that out now lol.. not doing anything better at 1am lmao... so do you think ill have to order in bulk? or will small orders be fine? btw what did you use for your silver face mask in your signature pic (the one on the left)? it almost looks like a painted hanible mask (the movie with anthony hopkins) it looks dope none the less...

I'd like to know this myself...Although I wanted to find somewhere local as I don't like to order away for things. I prefer to support local business to keep stock available. I saw some great youtube vids on making armour. Which is what eventually led me to custom sabers..lol

I got a little sidetracked...hehe

Try looking through the phone book in your area for a place that makes custom signs and banners. Lots of those types of businesses use Sintra for some of their custom signs. They might be willing to sell you some of their scraps for cheap.

I've worked with local sign companies and here they mostly use acrylic, and choroplast.

There are however some plastic companies out in the industrial park I've yet to try because I don't drive and they're not easy to get to. I asked more convenient places and of course none of them have a clue about anything they don't stock.

And of course I got sidetracked making lightsabers..lol

But now I want some jedi sith armour!

I found some suppliers online easily but I didn't know/recall there being so many thickness's available. Not sure what would be best for armour. Unless anyone has any recommendations I need to find that tutorial on youtube again.

...who thought it was weird someone was looking for SINATRA? C'mon, admit it. Someone other then me HAD to think they were lookin' for Ol Blue Eyes....right?

[Jedi-Loreen]

Maybe.

If their brain added an extra letter.


I'm too much of a costume and prop geek not to know what sintra is.
