Where are you guys getting your stuff? |

I got mine cut at Ace Hardware. Mine actually had a fairly steep curve that the guys working there cut perfectly. If you're looking for smoked plexiglass though, you'll probably have to order it online. I picked mine up at e-street plastics, but I'm still waiting on the delivery (and potentially for it to ship at all). |

Lexan is stronger than Plexiglass. Also Lexan is easier to polish out scratches with blue magic. Plexiglass is cheaper though. I usually order my lexan from mcmaster carr book but I know lowes and home depot have an area. But it is hard to find an employee at those stores that can cut it correctly. You can get a scoring knife for lexan and plexi glass and cut it yourself. You score it with a straight edge (i know i am spelling score wrong but to lazy to spell check) and then hold it along a straight edge and litterally bend/snap it over the straight edge. It works best if you score it then flip it over and bend/snap it over the straight edge. For rounded corners you are going to need a router. Hope that helps Brent www.extendedplayarcade.com |

Check your yellow pages (or online) for plastic suppliers. I found a local shop that cuts stuff for me on the cheap. |
