Lexan questions?
marcoval:
OK some basic lexan questions. What is the difference between Lexan and Plexi? I hear from many sources that Lexan is better so I'm wanting to use it on my CP. Where does one purchase this? What is the price difference?
Auntie MAME:
You can get it at Home Depot. It is more durable than plex. Is far less prone to crack. It is very easy to work with.
SNAAAKE:
price difference is like 3 times more..
You can get a piece of plexi for $9 while the same size lexan would be around $30.
I personally dont have any problem with plexi glass but I would still say go with lexan(easy to drill holes and no worry about cracking the lexan like plexi).
Brad Lee:
There's a price difference but nowhere near as drastic as what Snaaake is saying(unless its a regional thing)
Home Depot has plexi in say 24x30" for about 4-5$
I ordered online lexan in 12x24x1/8 for about 6$
plexi is fine to work with for straight lines- razor score it and snap, give it a little polish on the edge and it's good
lexan is a lot easier for using tools, saws, drills, etc it really does cut just like wood
