The stuff normally comes in 4 x 8 sheets, so getting a piece the right size should be no problem. You should look for a glass shop in your area that repairs storm doors and windows. Cost of material may be slightly higher, but you probably save a bunch on shipping - which can be pretty wicked. Plus you can take your old panels to the glass shop and they will use them as a pattern to make the new panels.

My choice for material would be bronze 3/8" cast acrylic or Lexan. Lexan is more flexible, stronger (and about 30% more expensive) but scratches more easily. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
