Ok.... so have spent over half an hour searching for Plasticard on modelling sites and can't find any
Please does anyone know what else it is called?
Need some size 10thou, 20thou & 40thou (0.254, 0.5 & 1mm)
Just cant seem to find it on eModels or anywhere else other than some Train Diorama shop I have never used.....

I use these quite often, they have 0.5 and 1mm, but only go as low as 0.3mm
This website also sells Plastruct products, but I have only used them once (no issues, except that I was expecting a pack but instead received single rods - my fault as I should have guessed that from the price!!)

I scratch build trailers for haulage firms and use Evergreen styrene sheets, strips and rods, Howard from Kit Form Services always holds a good stock great range and great service, I have spent £100's with him over the years, Highly recommended

I actually use old/used lottery cards that I literally pick up off the pavement for my 1/35 scale armour model needs. At a pinch I have used margarine cartons for thinner plastic. It may not sound very sophisticated... but it does for what I require.

I have heard sign writers often have lots of off cuts
