I just ordered my Lexan from a local glass place and I am being charged $75 for the 2 marquee pieces and the piece for my monitor. Does that seem too much? I would have bought a 4x8 sheet, but I can't find a place that will sell it too me. I thought Home Depot wwould have it to order, but they didn't. Did I talk to someone at Home Depot that didn't know what they were talking about?? I just feel like $75 is way too much |

That seems a little high to me. What thickness did you get? I bought some acrylic (don't remmber the brand) from Lowe's that was 0.08" for about $12 per 28" x 36" sheet. It's not thick enough for the monitor area but ir works fine for the marquee and my CP. I'm planning on using galss for the monitor area. |

That's very high. You can get high quality .250" (1/4") thick 24x36 piece at Menards for $25 on sale, $32 regularily, and that would be enough to make the monitor bezel (24x24) and 1 large marquee (24x12). Now that isn't "Lexan" perse, it's the Lucite ES I believe. Actually, around here, I can get a 22x32" piece of 1/4" TEMPERED glass with rounded corners and sanded round over edges for only $47 complete (e.g. a Ms.Pacman tabletop). It would be cheaper then for me to get a tempered glass monitor bezel (most likely to scratch and show), probably around $30, and then go with a cheap sheet of .1875 (3/8") plexiglass for $15 or so for my marquees instead of paying someone $75 for lucite. |

That's VERY high. I got a piece big enough to cut in half and sandwich my marquee for $7.00 from home depot. Haven't check the monitor piece, but I'm sure it isn't even HALF of $68.... |
