KcDano Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Find a major supplier in your area that handles large volumes of lexan and cuts to size. Explain what your doing with it, expressing that you don't need a whole sheet and by the way do you fish. I will trade a few baits for some of your large cut-offs. You will most likely strike a deal and get you lexan for virtually nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass'n'Cast Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 well i found it at home depot, but what thickness.? and what do i cut it with.? Oh, and is arcryllic sheet the same or can it be used in place of lexan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikehunter1775 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 you can also get then from Rollie and Helen's Musky Shop and Moore's Lures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcDano Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Should be polycarbonate if it is lexan, if not, probally plexiglass not as good as lexan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Lexan is the GE name brand for polycarbonate. You can order 1'x1' sheets of various thicknesses from mcmaster.com. They also carry G-10 and G-11 circuit board and almost any kind of wire you can think of. Decent prices, fast shipping and good service in my experience.

Bass'n'Cast Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 well home depot sells the plastic in two thicknesses .223 and .092 which one is best? i assume these are pretty thick no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 You can also find it on ebay. There are some outfits that sell their drop-off pieces on there. If you don't see the thickness you want go to their on-line store and search there. Just another option for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) Bass'n'Cast. Let's look at these sizes. 0.223 is close to .250 aka .25 or a 1/4 inch. 0.092 is equal to about 2 mm or based on a quarter inch as a comparison, would be around 3/32 of an inch. I think you'd be safe with .092 Edited June 14, 2008 by Spike-A-Pike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
