Title: Perspex
Post by: Fast63 on October 14, 2012, 04:47:20 pm

Not wood but couldn't decide where to put this post, please move if not in the right place.

Was just wondering where should I be buying the Perspex from and how much should I be paying?

Thanks

Im in the uk

I buy a lot of plastics and I get most of mine from http://www.trentplastics.co.uk/2012/ (http://www.trentplastics.co.uk/2012/)

Look at the acrylic sections, Perpsex is a trade name for acrylic.

Well, I haven't chose one because a friend found some at work and gave me it, it's clear. Looks ok.

The light grey is a good choice if you want tinted acrylic in front of your monitor. I use this to make screen covers for SNK SC-19 cabinets and it's pretty much an exact match to the original material.
