Default Where to buy Nomex or Aluminum Honeycomb

Where can I buy Nomex or Aluminum Honeycomb.

My project is about 9"x31"x1/4" and I don't want to spend $100 for a big *** sheet. $40 or less would be reasonable.

I know fiberglast sells it but its too much.

The part is going to be semi see through. So yeah I guess it has to be honeycomb (for cosmetics).

mcmaster.com is $68

I also found
http://www.avtcomposites.com/core.php3
not as cheap but has a good selection.

I want to build a skateboard using some of the tech that Burton and Palmer's flagship snowboards use. It does not necessarily have to be ride-able(It would be nice if it was though). I have set a $100 budget. I already have glass and vacuum bag equipment.

I just need a core material, resin, maybe some carbon fiber, and inserts for the trucks.
