Supplies (Lithopanes)

[Tazzer]

I am looking into purchasing the PhotoCarve software and was wondering where does everyone purchase thier supplies to make lithopanes. Specifically Avenite and Corion. Looking for some online dealers becasue the closest I have in the town I live in is a Ace hardware. Any help would be great.

It's hard to buy corian, as distributors will only sell it to you if you are a certified fabricator. Check with corian counter top shops, and see if they will sell you scraps.

Until you find a supplier, you can use 1/4" white acrylic sheet. It doesn't have that soft glow that Corian gives you, but the results are still very good.

Tazzer-If you have trouble locating supplies,let me know.I have a lot of 1/4" Corian and could supply you with some to get you started. You have to remember that Corian is heavy and shipping to Colorado from the East could be high unless the sizes you need would fit into a Bulk rate box. You can also search Ebay--type in "Corian" under search--there are a few sellers that sell sizes that can be used for Lithopanes. I even put Corian on Ebay so I know you can find some on Ebay.
