Where do I get plexiglass ... ?
Hey guys,
I'll be building a new amp rack for the car and I would like to go with a plexiglass top so that I may see the amps and such...
Where can one buy a sheet of plexiglass, and what is the expected cost? I'd be looking for probably a 1/4" to 3/4" thickness.
Thanks for info.
Carl

Ummm, Lexan is more expensive due to its scratch resistance and the fact that it's bulletproof. I've never seen it fog up either ... it's actually better than plexi.

I'm sorry that this was misunderstood and that you feel so strongly about plastic products. I was simply informing you that Lexan is plexiglass, but better.

I have no idea how much plexiglass cost but try www.selectproducts.com it seems pricey but then again, i have no idea how much plexi normally costs.

They have a very large, large selection of all types of plastic resins
in sheets, rods, bars, or they will do custom work too. Plastics do get very expencive as you move up through common to engineered plastics.
And for the record Lexan trade named by G.E. is a polycarbonate used in medicial devices and yes bullit proof windows. If not coated or compounded with additives is very scratch prone. That's why it comes with protective coverings on both side to protect it during shipping and storage.
Just my 2 cents
