PVC foam board at Parkrose Hardware

*heads up*

Parkrose Hardware has a section for scrap metal/plastic/rubber (in the West Linn location - I'm guessing the other location has this as well). I just picked up a piece of 1/2" black expanded PVC foam board aprox 12"x48" for ~$16. This is the second time I've picked up 1/2" PVC foam board from Parkrose.  If you've ever shopped for 1/2" PVC foam board you know it's hard to find and very expensive. The salesperson doesn't know where they get it from or when they will get more (their scrap is just randomly sent to the store). 

This stuff is ideal for building things in/around the sump as it doesn't warp/rot or absorb water. It can easily be glued (pvc cement) and screwed (without pilot holes). It's what Adaptive Reef uses for their controller boards.
