Where could a cheap feller buy plexiglass for a deal and a half?
-
depending on how much, home depot has it, industrial plastics has it, what are you making? Lexan may be a better choice, but many glass shops have it as well.

My dad wants to make storm windows for his house in Oosoyoos.

Hey Jason... there is a place right beside my work in PoCo called ASI Plastics and I got a great hook up with them lemme know what you need and I will see what I can get for you ok.
GOOD GAME!!!!!!!!!!

lexan is more flexible and scratches less than plexiglass, you could just go measure it all and go to industrial plastics and have it cut for you and they can bevel the edge and what not.
-
sweet thanks guys. Do you know if it is available in a 4x8 sheet. cause my dad only saw 36" at Home Depot.
-
Yup... Lemme know EXACTLY what your after dood and I will run over there in the morning to find out for ya

FYI Plexiglass and Lexan are tradenames.
Plexiglass = acyrlic sheet. (Hard and scratch resistant, but not flexible.)
Lexan = polycarbonate sheet. (Flexible, but scratches easier.)
And there are other kinds of plastic sheet available.
We get our plastic sheet from these guys.
