I'll try Homebase to see if it's there but otherwise I'll probably have
to
compromise on thickness and try one of the alternative suggestions.
It's definitely around. My local Champions Timber also do a version of it
though I found it inferior to Conti.


======================
Many thanks again to all respondents. I checked in 'Homebase' this afternoon
and sure enough it's there! Rather expensive at £4.99p for 8' x 6" so I'll
have another look at other suggested places.

Strangely, I've looked quite carefully in Wickes, B&Q and Focus over the
past few weeks and no sign of it anywhere. Maybe it's a regional thing.

I'm also aware of the limitations on sanding because I still have a few
items of furniture I made from it about 30 years ago and found it very easy
to sand through the veneer. Gentle hand sanding is called for!
