Qoou,
I must a agree with Dave.. what Cannibal said was not incorrect, nor do I think what you said was completely incorrect, except for the point where you said Cannibal was wrong, and about polycabonate.
In his opening statement he spelled it out that he was talking about PMMA based products, where as you were quoting facts about 4 other completely different compounds. And of course they would have different characteristics then PMMA based products. BTW Plexiglas, Perspex, Acrylic are name brands for Polymethyl methacrylate.
You can read more about it here.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymethyl_methacrylateOriginally Posted by Wikipedia
More info can be read here.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LexanOriginally Posted by Wikipedia
Again you can read more about it here..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_chlorideOriginally Posted by Wikipedia
And yet again.. Bayplastics and EastmanOriginally Posted by Bayplastics
They make eyeglass lenses out of polycarbonate because they are stronger, lighter then glass lenses, and they are more scratch resistant then plastic lenses. And from experience.. polycarbonate lenses are more expensive then plastic or glass lenses as well. Which is why along with the information above, I would say that your evaluation of polycarbonate isn't completely accurate.Originally Posted by Wikipedia
And of course you can read more about polycarbonate here.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate
So keep in mind before you say someone is wrong, it would be a good idea to make sure that you are talking about the same thing, and that you have all your facts straight.
Wow Overide, when you beat em' back, you beat em' back good.

Anyways...
maybe i should said that he could use more info, he said earlier that all the plastics could be treated the same(besides the lexan). they cant.
i just didnt know constructive crititsizm was a sin these days.Originally Posted by CaseModGod
It's not .. but saying some one is wrong, is not constructive. There are better ways to go about it, rather then just saying they're wrong.Originally Posted by qoou
Hey qoou, i'm not trying to put you down bud. I did say that the info you provided was helpful, i'm just saying that telling someone they're wrong isn't constructive criticism. Don't take it personally, i know you meant well - but not everyone else does. It's not in what you're saying, just in how you say. I don't think you've really offended anyone, i'm just pointing out that some day someone might take your form of criticism as an insult.
Worry not, you posted back, stuck up for yourself, everyone's happy again.

not concerned about it at all dude. no worries. this is all for the greater good to get this NFO out there and have people use these experiances to help them expand their creativity. the information you and overide have provided im sure will be a usefull gem to someone in the future. btw do you have any lexan if so can you fool arround with the scraps from an old project and post some info on how it behaves? i think that would be a great way to partisipate hereOriginally Posted by qoou
actually as a matter of fact i do have scrap lexan i can fool around with. i bought some at home depot the other day just for that purpose.
