Graham,
Yes, I'm sure it is styrene. I buy it in 4 x 8 sheets at .020"
thickness for under $7. a sheet. In the sign industry, we use it for
commercial displays. Cut to size, add your graphics and a few strips of
velcro on the back. It's not the same as the stuff used by the glider
guys, but is apparently just as effective, for a much lower price...
