Where can I buy honeycomb grid?

[ki_user]

Hi, I want to make a gridspot for my flash. I want something a bit more substantial than the usual drinking straw job, so I'm trying (and failing) to get hold of some honeycomb grid.

Any ideas where I can get some in the UK?

You might want to try RS, they are a tools, building and electronics retailer im sure they would do something like this

You can buy black Corplast on Ebay, ready cut into handy strobist sizes

I know you said in the UK, but:

You could e-mail them to see what the shipping would cost?

Fair enough. What about those electrical connection blocks? I know they dont look quite right, but they might do the job. Either that or go to a plumbers merchand and get a length of skinny black pipe and cut it to size :shrug:

I'd like to thank you for your suggestions of ebay, and I don't want to sound ungrateful but that is a rip off, £8 for something that probably cost him pennies, I'd rather pay £25 and get a proper one at that price.

Then stop moaning and buy one
The guy said its hard to source, as you are finding yourself, and he had to order in bulk and is selling some off. I dont see this as an issue really, so why not got for it and get yourself some for £8 posted?

Don't take moaning away from me, I'll have nothing left.
