Allied Plastics Supply

[Europhyllia]

Allied Plastics Supply has great prices and great customer service.
I ended up getting a sheet in the perfect shade of blue for $40 less than a close competitor would have charged.
On top of that they will cut it up free of charge for me.
They also were so kind to give me a small piece for free of the same kind so I could find out what different treatments (sanding etc.) would look like before I get my order.
If you need acrylic, check with Allied. They're awesome. :bigsmile:

[hobogato]

my first choice for acrylic as well. if they dont have it in stock, they can get it and i would rather wait for them to get something than buy from somewhere else...

Ace will they cut me pieces for a calfo or do I need to buy whole sheet

[hobogato]

sell pieces cut to size, it is just a little more expensive than buying a full sheet.

Jack and I were going to get a 4' by 4' piece to build a few frag racks. Might be able to get it cheaper when we pick up if youre in for the group thing.

[Europhyllia]

yeah or if you think a sky blue calfo is what you're looking for I might have a piece for ya too ;)

[txav8r]

I think she already ordered it.

BTW I think I'm in for Saturday, Allan.

No, I was talking about Rueben. If he wanted to go in on the sheet.

Glad you said something, I've only one more hour here before I head to the casa. I'll call the glass place now.

You should try to get them to be a sponser:)

[txav8r]

Let me know. I have Ruben's number if you want me to call him and ask.
tick tock...

Group sounds good. Thanks Karin how much will u have left. Need at least 2 5 in pieces 4 ft long.

[Europhyllia]

I have a 12" by 72" remnant that I will use for testing sand paper. But I'm sure I can figure out if it works or not on the first foot or two and leave the paper on the rest.

i could manage to take some scrap of your hands, unless you want to give it to the boys for their project. Whats the thickness?

[Europhyllia]

you know what. I didn't even think about the thickness.
I purchased it for my shadowbox project and it's only 1/8".
Sorry Ruben :(
Too thin for those other types of projects I'm sure!
I actually don't have much scrap other than a couple of feet of that piece I mentioned.
36"by72" will be for my shadow box project. The other piece is 24"by 48" - perfect if I ever want to make a shadowbox for a 75g tank so I am saving it.

[StevenSeas]

egh too thin for me then

[jesserettele]

I have worked with Allied for years with medical grade thermoplastics and have the same positive experiences and feedback. Is Ruben the guy here in SA?

[jrsatx20]

Yes im in sa

[jesserettele]

Yes im in sa

I went to allied yesterday and got a four by four eighth inch. Too thin IMO for a calflow. Should have gotten the quarter inch as I'm sure we will have plenty left.

Funny guys up there and good customer service. Second the sponsor bit.
