Where to buy Plexiglass

[TheChef]

Where do you buy plexiglass for your projects? Do you know of any sites that have a bright green transparent color or something like it? I'm having a lot of trouble finding a site to buy it from and I dont know of any places around my house.

have you checked the hardware stores?

places like home depot and lowe's

Good Luck,

Plexiglass is a brand name of acrylic, or polymethylmethacrylate. It's all the same.

Might as well add my two sence, just because. GE Plastics manufactures LEXANPOLYCARBONATE sheets in various thickness, size alltho i am not sure of color. I do however know that you can pick up transparent green sheets from "rplastics" online. They carry all sorts of fantastic poly items. Lexan is great for me, actually just picked up a few sheets and am in the process of "etching" or carving a case window as we speak.

The flourescent acrylic is UV reactive.
