We can still get it in the UK, the only difference is that they don't hand pick the flatter sheets for model makers. as a result they are often slightly curved. This isn't a problem as it is easy to flatten. Made loads of jets with curvy depron - NO PROBLEM!! great stuff!

I'm Glad you can still get it in the UK Craig, but for us Yanks I wanted to show builders in North America that there are still foams we can buy here.

I use a LOT of Foamular- Owens Corning pink fanfold foam. It too is hard to find so I bought 5 bales on Craigslist. I also use a lot of dollar store Adams foam. I can’t justify Depron’s cost for all the impulsive building I do. I buy hot glue by the case on eBay too.

Hi! We are using ceiling tile foam 50x50cm. Practically the same stuff, but have to be careful with glues

Correct Sir! I made this video to ease fears that people have about no longer being able to find trademarked "depron" foam sheets.

I am making my own "depron" cutting blue foam in sheets with hot wire over a table, separated 5 mm from the surface and it works great

And you can get XPS foam in light gray and dark gray now. Lowes sells green. The gray foam hot wire cuts beautifully and glues really well with Ponal Wasserfest (if you can get it). Harbor Freight sells a waterproof, clear drying wood glue that also works.

Where you heard that? Here in Switzerland (neighbour from Austria and Germany) we have Depron in every Store, and many other brands. They advertise depron on google. I read the basic material is made in rolls before "extrude" this and make the "plates". But in forums they speak since 2010 they sell not so much because the other brands are cheaper. We have "Kapa Line", "XPS", "Selitac", "Normaplan" Some are made for insulating floors and some have lines or squares and are not flat like Depron. I dont like the lines, i have bought many different products to test. We have FoamBoard, i ordered a big amount but they are a lot heavier then advertised 5mm thick 1 square meter is 510gramms! But they write 120g!

Sir, I don't live in Switzerland. . . Here in the United States a company called RCFOAM-dot-com would buy Depron made by Selit Corp in Austria and would import it into the U.S. Selit halted manufacturing of Depron plates and only makes rolls or depron for flooring and floor paneling. Please remember I don't live in Europe & buying European made foam is Insanely expensive to have it shipped to the U.S.

+VTOLKits. _Where do you get your Depron?_ I used to live in Bern and is living near Lucerne. In Migros, Bauhaus and OBI I only see normal "styrofoam" and XPS. In Bern there was a shop that sold Kapa foamboard but it is a tad bit heavy. Depron I can only get from www.swiss-composite.ch/

@SsoulBlade I live also in Bern. The cheapest i found in switzerland is: www.swiss-composite.ch From 5.70 sFr. Or the most RC stores have this but they want somtimes up to 26 sFr. per plate and they have most time only one plate in the store. Normaplan ist sehr ähnlich wie Depron von OBI in 80cmx62.5cm (bei Maler/Gibser Abteilung), im Bauhaus gibts sogar doppelte Grösse 80cmx125cm also wie Depron. Es ist leichter aber auch schwächer. ---Nomaplan 4m2, 4mm weiss 91,5g/m2 OBI, Hornbach (5.48fr/m2) 80x62.5cm ---XPS 7m2, 5mm schwarz 166g/m2 Bauhaus (3.24fr/m2) 80x59cm--- Selitac 5m2, 5mm hellblau 133g/m2 OBI (Bodenbeläge Abteilung) (3.98fr/m2) 80x62.5cm--- Kapa Line Platten, 5mm, 640g/m2 (22.85fr/m2) zu schwer und teuer. ---FoamBoard 17,5m2, 5mm weiss 510g/m2 (9.21fr/m2) Onlineshops--- auch zu schwer, wird aber in Onlineshops als viel leichter beworben. Habe bestellt und war entäuscht.

The Build RC has it; but you have to ask. They use it for covering shipping containers. It's premium quality, and cheap! They can supply any size too. Theirs is 5mm.

Seriously? that sucks!

OK I don't know squat about foams and the different types of foams. For example some are thin and flexible and can be used to cover curved surfaces while others are stiff/ rigid and would be great for support pieces etc. I'm a beginner RC plane builder and want to start using foam but don't have a lot of $$$ to waste. I need a foam beginners course on how to identify the differences in foam and what the good types are for RC plane building. Hoping someone can direct me or explain the differences. Much appreciated.

Funny as there is pallets full of depron in the UK in every b&q wickes etc it's just black .... We use it for laminate flooring padding

Went down to wickes the diy shop. They had similar stuff I used before. Only difference it's black and ribbed around a quarter of a millimetre on one side if that. Could be seen as a negative but i think you can use them ribs for curving nice round tubes and using it as a strong grain otherside if perfectly flat. The company is wesco here is the link

Sure, there are other foams. I already build Adams foam board planes, and EPP planes. But nothing can replace Depron. In 6mm Its stiffness, and light weight cannot be matched. Im still flying a Rc powers Mig29 I made of depron. I always worry about crashing it. Depron is brittle and does not crash well.

Hi Jeremy! Are you taking about the white styrofoam insulation sheet sold at Lowe's? If you are I would say it's lighter than comparable width depron, white styrofoam is the lightest foam you can buy, depron is super smooth and made in different thicknesses. But the insulation styrofoam at Lowe's is great and I buy it all the time Sir.
