I know that Styrene is a pretty popular material for scratch building, but i have a friend who referred me to PVC Sheeting (Polyvinyl). I was wondering if there were any of you on here who had some experience working with this material and could provide me with some information before I spend the money on it. One of the brands he recommended was the Palight Project PVC,
Thanks in advance for any insight.

You're going to need a special cement for pvc if you are used to building with styrene. Try a home improvement store for the stuff. Be careful, most pvc glues are *welders* super hot!
