clear acryllic parts
Does anyone know of a company with affordable clear acrylic rod/bar/blocks? Sadly the only place i found it was years ago 70 miles from me at a small hardware store. Lowe's has nothing like it and i didn't have much luck at home depot either. Sucks being out in the middle of nowhere.

Re: clear acryllic parts
lol. I just hate randomly going with companies. I figured i'd ask here and see if anyone had a company they prefer. I appreciate it. I'm sure there is a supplier around here someplace, I should have gone to the wholesale outlet last week.

Don't forget eBay. Sometimes you can find interesting raw plastics like rods and beams.

I've ordered from TAP plastics and their service was very good. quick delivery, and good product... including the correct glues for the acrylic...

Great prices, they even threw in an extra 6ft tube at no charge! Best shipping prices I've seen for this stuff. Last edited by robn1; 07-28-2010 at 06:51 AM. Reason: Stoopid spelln err :) |

Re: clear acryllic parts
They also have the best prices on raw material, imo.

Re: clear acryllic parts
I forgot this thread even existed lol
Nice thing is that US Plastics isn't very far from where I am in PA as they're in Lima, OH. |
