Price of neoprene

[Yulia]

What is a good price for neoprene?
I'm thinking of making my own tail and I'm deciding if I should use spandex or neoprene for it.
I found a store (Swedish) that sells different kinds of neoprene (doesn't state the thickness, but it has spandex backing)
for as low as 8,7$ per meter. (1m is 3,2feet)
Is that a good price?
They also have textured neoprene, like this:

And some abstract colored ones.
I'm going to ask them what the thickness is, but what does neoprene cost in your country?

I pay $50AUD per sheet which is 1.2m x 2m (or somewhere about there) which is 2 or 3mm thick (2 is easier to work with.

Go to your local dive shop!
My local dolphin swim school rents wetsuits, and when they get old they will sell them cheap. I got a full suit for $5.00 I cut the inseam. And sewed it together for my tail =)
And plenty of spare fabric from the top half!
Hope this helps ♡

Interested in that textured neoprene. I remember finding textured neoprene rubber years ago but without the fabric backing. What store is this?
