Home Depot Starboard

Is there anything wrong with what Home Depot carries?
Much cheaper than anywhere else.....

Whatever I can buy in Home Depot and Walmart, I do.

Had it on my boat for 2 years down here in the Caribbean... Still looks like the day I bought it..

Some advice on Starboard.. Treat it like gelcoat. Where you cut it, sand it exactly like you would gelcoat (200grit, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, polish). If you do that, it will not get dirty and look brand new (for at least 2 years).

Ours doesn't carry the Starboard brand, but there's lots of similar material. I've used 4'x8' sheets, as well as trim pieces. So far I've been very satisfied.

One thing I don't like is a lot of the pieces they sell (including the 4'x8'x1/2" sheets) have a wood-look texture on one side. If you need it smooth on both sides, you're out of luck. The texture can trap and hold dust and grit. In fact, the stuff generally gets dirty a lot easier than painted surfaces, but sanding does help.

I was surprised to find original King Starboard at the Home Depot

If you have cookie-cutter Home Depots like we have around here, you can buy starboard locally at any plastics wholesaler/retailer. It's called HDPE sheets and is exactly the same as starboard, there are different colors available and it's probably cheaper even than HD starboard...
