if you can find anyone that keeps it round here and have never seen it in 18mm ..... 10 mm's just too thin :(
You can get it in 18, but like you say try finding someone local with any stock - even pre pandemic!

I've genuinely never seen it in 18 milly ... was a board mill in Lydney called Factories Directions for years and could buy in bulk from them, but only did the phenolic in 10/11mm .... 'swhy i never used to use it for bottoms - too thin, without a LOT more support structure, which all added weight and cost to making 'em

Don't get the cheap phenolic stuff, Its crap. There is one called buffalo board and it's more expensive but no idea if it's better as I used it for indoor stuff.
