acrylic pieces

[reefreak]

anyone know where to find some cheap acrylic? looking for some big pieces for cheap ive heard that regal has some scrap acrylic for cheap any other suggestions or anyone else that might have some big extra pieces

[rrasco]

Big scrap will be hard to come by. Large acrylic sheets don't come cheap and that is normally what is being used to make their scrap. You just have to go and look at what they have.

Not real big maybe just a 4x4 ft sheet

4x4 is big. I think a standard sheet size is 2x4. Depending on the thickness you need, prices will vary. At 1/4", a 2x4 sheet is going to run you around $50. 4x4 would be around double that. Basically what I'm trying to say is, you won't find 'cheap' acrylic and you most certainly won't find pieces this large in a scrap pile.

You can use this site to get an idea on what you should expect to pay: http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/ite...3554&catid=442

Hmm ok so do they usually have 2x4 sheets?

[rrasco]

They should, give them a call. You can also try calling Allied.
