New Guy Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I have been looking around for some colored translucent plastic sheets or acrylic or plexiglass sheets. Haven't had any luck with something affordable. EBay and Amazon have some put with shipping is out of sight. I've also looked at Home Depot, Menards & Lowes with no luck. I have seen some projects here that have used some and hoped for some suggestions. Thanks Al amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hi Al. I acquired my acrylic pieces (many different sizes) from my wife's uncle that used to own a fabricating company manufacturing oversized tubing, containers and such for a mining company. I had acquired what I needed at no cost being they were scrap pieces. I would suggest locating a business as such in your area or further. I'm sure they will welcome you to their scraps.

bandaideman Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I too have used sloans and had good service. It has been several years so not sure on the pricing. As Edward said give them a call. I have met the owners and very nice to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I get more than i want from stores changing there shelves out, displays,demo's etc.I have a route everywhere i go where the pickin's are pretty good.I kill two birds with one stone looking for things on my way to and from needed places during the day.Furniture and tables plus tall stand up displays have yielded thick clear acrylics in beautiful shape from apartment condo dumpsters on the sides.I pick up way more than i'll ever need or use but if you don't have it when you need it your out of luck and money to acquire something.
