Post Home Depot Regolith Part Numbers

After spending nearly an hour at my local Home Depot, and consulting numerous employees who all seemed to think that they didn't have what I was looking for I found the FRP sheets in the paneling section. I also found this useful little sheet with a bunch of part numbers for Glasliner Fiberglass Reinforced Panels.

Re: Home Depot Regolith Part Numbers

Thanks! This will be helpful to a lot of people I'm sure.
I also spent quite a while with 7 different employees from multiple departments on the phone to try and see if they carried it. All seemed clueless. I eventually gave up and called Lowes where the first person I talked to knew what they were right away and said they carried them.

see if you can find a sheet with a chipped corner or something at Lowes we got it for 20 instead of 35 as the edge had cracked a little where they tie them to the pallets.

Re: Home Depot Regolith Part Numbers

I saw the title of this thread and immediately thought:
"If only someone had told NASA they could get regolith at Home Depot..."

Thanks for the info, though. It will definitely be useful.

Re: Home Depot Regolith Part Numbers

Our home depot said no one in NY carried it- so I called Lowes. The Lowes at Greece (585) 453-7500 has 60 sheets- 30 white, 30 almond, 32$ a piece.

Rochester NY area

Re: Home Depot Regolith Part Numbers

I have been to several Home depots and they carried a sheet of white Glasliner FRP but it had a bumpy surface. The surface we were shown at the kickoff was smooth. Are you guys finding smooth sheets at Home Depot?

Re: Home Depot Regolith Part Numbers

Can somebody post the part numbers? My employer blocks Photobucket and most other similar websites and it would be real conveinient to stop at HD on the way home.

What kickoff were you at?
In Manchester, NH at the official Kickoff, the surface was bumpy.
I see your location as London, & know that teams are having trouble finding the actual material that is used on the field.
Maybe they replaced it for your (remote kickoff), but didn't give you a heads up?
Here's a picture from NH.

Chris, there are multiple part numbers on that one spec sheet.
I don't want to give you the wrong one, so maybe getting access to a good computer for a minute to check this thread first before running to the store is more wise?
That's all I can offer. Sorry.
I have the same trouble with Bill's blog being banned at work.
Kinda lame.

Re: Home Depot Regolith Part Numbers

OOPS... haven't changed my location! Dallas regional. Judging from the picture you posted, looks like they messed up!!!! Well it IS a new regional so something was bound to go wrong.
Thanks for posting that picture!
I owe you a button!

I posted the image to cd media, I don't have the link off hand but a quick search should be all you need to do.
