Lexan - Other Names
Superdude:
I know this was asked 6 months ago but I lost the thread. Does anyone know the other names lexan goes by? I am having an extremely tough time finding lexan in Chicago.
Psyklops:
You shouldn't be having any problems... I can order it in and I live in a small town of 40,000 people in Northern Alberta, Canada. Check with a glass shop instead of looking at the Home Depot type stores....

I got mine at home depot where it came with the brand name Lucite-Tuf. I think the chemical name is polycarbonate sheet.

Superdude:
What department did you find Lucite-Tuf?
Cue-Ball:
I also used Lucite from Home Depot. On my 2nd control panel build they didn't have a piece of Lucite large enough so i bought "Optix" instead. They're basically the same thing as far as i can see. Both of them drilled and routed about equally. Ask someone in the store and i'm sure they can direct you to exactly where the stuff is located. I paid under $20 for a sheet of Optix that was large enough for me to cut two 39x16 control panels and still have a lot left over.
