Skeeter Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Instead of Lexan ask for polycarbonate. Lexan is just a trademark name for polycarbonate. Try a glass shop. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwbassin Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I got a 4x8 sheet from this company for 65$. They will also cut it up for you and ship it to ya. I don't know where you live but here's the link. http://www.piedmontplastics.com/prodtype.asp?ID=10&TYPE=349 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop10 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 go to mcmaster-carr at mcmaster.com, put in "polycarbonate" into the search and choose the size sheets you want and number. I bought 6 sheets of 24" x 24" for $66 ($11 per). That's 24 square feet, which is less than the 4' x 8' sheet, but a lot easier to initially handle.

scoop10 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 oh yeah, you will probably want the .063 thickness, although the .094 might be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoRoller Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I get mine from Home Depot but forgot what they charge. If you are "dabbling" in making your own bills they would be a good stop. They sell small sheets just in case you decide you would rather buy your own bills.

fatfingers Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 If you go to any retail outlet, don't hesitate to ask if they have any scraps. You may be able to buy the stuff at a steep discount or they may even give you the odd shaped pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
