The way to find partial sheets is to
shop among places that do plastic fabrication. They always have
pieces left over from jobs that they usually sell at a deep
discount, especially for particular tints that they feel may not
be easy to unload. The leftovers obviously vary from small to
quite large, and you take what you can find. What they have
available also changes daily, so a place where you strike out on
Tuesday, may be the jackpot on Friday. Being there in person is
more likely to result in success than casual phone checking. I
usually start by calling a few prospective places and feeling them
out as to the likelyhood they might have what I want. Then I go to
the ones who sounded the most promising. Two very important
considerations when choosing a piece of plastic. Is it UV treated?
If not, you don't want it regardless of price. The other thing is
that CAST acrylic is both stronger and optically clearer and
flatter than the cheaper extruded stuff. For thinner stuff, you
may have to settle for extruded, but it's worth the effort to try
and find cast if at all possible. It really is nicer to look
through.
Can you tell I've been through this a few times? LOL. Bill Bina On 9/6/2013 5:07 PM, LKL Architects wrote:
