Morning all,
Has anyone else experienced a shortage/non existence of 0.5mm x 3mm lime wood strips these days?
1mm x 3mm is still readily available.
I remember buying it easily from any one of my regular suppliers so now wondering if the dreaded excuse "Pandemic" is to blame.
Or does anyone know of a supplier that they are prepared to share with us?
Thanks in advance.
Chris

Chris Hi Chris,  Can`t find any at the places I know inc CMB. Hard to find that size in Lime/Basswood anywhere except: https://gehobbies.gr/en/...s-0-5mmx3mmx1000mm.html
Unfortunately its in Greece and there is added p+p and minimum order of 10 x 1 metre pieces, but that`s all I can find at this time. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) Admin COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Well, that didn't take long!!
After all my abortive efforts, within hours, Gil Shapley located a model shop in Addlestone who show stock
of these wood strips.
Delboy then contacted me directly and let me know. I have now placed an order for some of the strips, but as the shop was closed I just ordered some online. Let's hope that they aren't 20mm long....
Thank you for taking the trouble to sort this for me to both Gil and Delboy.
Chris
