Does anyone know where I can get some 15-40mm round dense polystyrene rods from? It has to be polystyrene.

Have a look for Rexolite, Eddie.....for school use we bought it from either Bay Plastics or Goodfellows - I dont know if they still exist though!

Why is it seemingly difficult to find, would have thought it was trivial to source?

hmm, maybe ABS will be ok?

What's it for and why polystyrene
E

Coz it has to be bonded (glued) to polystyrene, so that rules out a lot of plastics.

No dice??? odd innit!
I knew someone with a small injection-moulding business, but I'm pretty sure their feed was in granulated plastics, which they turned into whatever shape they wanted. I suppose they could have extruded rods. he used to make things for Yotties.

Sure, you can get these things custom made for £££'s but erroneously I assumed they'd be stock items, readily available, seemingly not so, it's coming from the USofA.

Unfortunately has to be dense (structural) PS not EPS.
