Contiboard, oh high street where has it gone?
There was a time, before Ikea, that folks used to visit Homebase and
other usual suspects, to buy that fake wood effect 15mm melamine foiled chipboard to knock up the odd cabinet to house the HiFi, or to use the same to make gravity defying shelves. There was a tasteful choice of either shades of brown wood all the way to silver and black. Wind forward to 2019, and it seems the only colour available from sheds is white - unless I find a specialist retailer? Grrrr... -- Adrian C |

Mine is too small, hence why I didn't find it. A huge Selco next door, none. No black, which is what I was after. -- Adrian C |

Yes its stupid. What is wrong with wood veneer? I had some shelves put up
using this and it was a bit of a hunt to get the right wood effect in the right sizes. I blame Brexit. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...
