Anyone know of a source for thin styrene sheet that's embossed to look like diamond plate? Thinking about dismal walkways, things like that.

No sheets, but I have noticed that some of this plactic banding that is used to wrap around boxes has a nice pattern to it. You are limited to the width of the banding (about 1/2 inch) and I don't know what type of glue sticks to it but it might be worth a try.

For small diamond plates, just place the plastic in a vise and squeeze it tight.

For $5 and change George at the LHS added it to his Plastruct order. He ordered from them Monday and the stuff was in the store on Thursday.
