"Greyboard in the USA" Topic

Anyone know where to find Greyboard in the US? I mean the 1mm or 2mm 'craft cardstock' like this.

Seems to be prolific on UK ebay but nonexistent in the typical US sources.

Over here I think its called SBS. You should be able to get it at any Michael's Craft Store, AC Moore, or any shop where they do picture framing. I use it in /16 or 1/8" thickness for my 30mm troops bases. Buy in Bulk, it's cheaper.

Thanks OSchmidt, I appreciate it!

If you work in an office, certainly in the UK, A5 bits of this are used to provide dividers in boxes of envelopes from Office Depot, amongst others. And it's free! Not sure if they do the same in the States, though…

Yep, used to work for the Federal Government, now retired. I have about 100 sheets of that. Every box of forms (and wow does the government use forms) had one of those in the back and a sheet of thin manila like stuff in the front. They used to throw it out, then started making it available to anyone who wanted it as part of a large recycling project.

Found it, believe it to be 'chipboard' here in the states. Thanks guys.

Yes… I do believe it's chipboard. I was always amused by the tiny bits of metal it seemed to have contained at least back when I used it.

And in the UK, this is chipboard:

WeeWars, here we call that particle board
