Try interstate plastics. Joel Aronson

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: Tom, Going through the same thing on my 85 LF 39. Have discovered the best replacement is 3/8" polybicarbonate tinted to a bronze color. Smoked grey is another option. The problem is that anything tinted and 3/8" thick is hard to find and most suppliers require you buy a whole sheet. Not sure where you are, but I found a source in Houston. Let me know if you are interested.
