Acrylic

I am trying to build a refugium out of acryilc, was woundering if there were any any local places that I could buy some weld on 16. Or if any body has some extra that they would like to sell let me know. thanks.

If we knew where 'local' was for you, we might be able to give you an answer.

Regal Plastics is in San Antonio and I believe there is one in Austin too. Google their name and you should find the website with the addresses. They even cut acrylic too...if you give them 'precise' dimensions. Other than that, they should be able to hook you up with any Weld-On # and the applicators.

I like Interstate Plastics off of south 183 much more than Regal. They have more inventory and all the glue you can imagine for less $$$.

Jim,
I just checked out Interstate when you mentioned it since I ordered a 1'x6' sheet yesterday from Regal.
I put the 1x6 size into Interstates website calculator and it came up at $64.69. I paid $23.00 with tax at Regal.
I agree Regal doesn't have many choices in acrylic (or accessories) but that's a big difference in price.
Just a heads up.

Funny, when I bought my starboard, Interstate was like $20 cheaper than Regal, go figure.

Someone at Interstate explained to me that the price of acrylic is tied to the price of oil. Whenever the barrel price goes up, so does acrylic.

That is true because all platic type materials are made from petroleum products.
