Anyone know where you can buy copper sheet?

I have an idea for a costume, and ideally Iā€™d like to use sheet copper to construct it, so if anyone knows where I could get some and a general idea abt price it would be much appreciated :slight_smile:

see if you can find an old copper hot water cylinder, there should be enugh in one of those.

You can buy it new in large sheets from sheet metal suppliers. Price depends on thickness.

I got mine from a scrap metal yard. They tend to have copper on hand, but you hardly ever see sheet copper. In fact, the guy at the yard was explaining to me that they never have sheet copper when he looked in the bin and there was a whole lot of sheet offcuts.

I paid $8/kg, but I reckon the price has gone up since then - to the point where thieves will vandalise old buildings just to get the copper pipes/spouting.

Cool, looks like I will be trawling scrap yards then. Thanks for the help :smiley:
