The Wickes Pink Foam Clearout!
« on: May 04, 2015, 01:49:39 PM »
Just to let people know, Wickes is clearing their Knauf pink foam boards at £1.99 each. Unfortunately none are to be found in any of the stores in the Nottingham area :(

If you live just north of Brighton though, one of the stores there has 370 sheets in stock!
So many projects..... so little time.......

This is the car able stuff, right? Can it be hot glued too?

The wife said no.  :'(

But I might have some time later in the week to pick up on behalf of others if there is any left.

Update: Blimey, only 180 left now!

Yup but experiment first as it can be a bit of a trick to get it right.

Havant had a load listed when I was looking around last night, bit closer to you I think.

Thanks. Just noticed I typed "car able" but of course I meant car able! Does anyone know if they are ceasing to stock it or if it's just a seasonal discount?

You did it again ;)

I assume you meant carvable, to which the answer is yes.

Ceasing to stock it, I read elsewhere that Knauf have stopped making that particular type.

Guildford had some a few weeks ago...I bought six sheets (all I could get in the car even with the roof down). They might still have some left.
