Where to buy Acrylic

<< < (2/2)

Richardgregory:
I have glass on mine, and I like it, but it's really really heavy.  I was thinking of going acrylic, but not sure if it has the same look as glass, which seems more authentic IMO.

Fursphere:
If you go glass, get it tempered.  It'll be really hard to break then. 

Plate glass - like you can get at home depot or picture frame shops - will break if you look at it funny. 

Dawgz Rule:
Acrylic tends to scratch easier and also attracts dust.    Hard to describe but I think the glass seems to give it more "pop" when compared side by side with acrylic.

I went with www.estreetplastics.com for my mini-cabinet.  The first time I used them they were very quick and helpful. Decent prices on custom cut stuff as well.

Tonynlo:
Not trying to hijack, but also did not feel my questions needed a new thread.

1) What is the difference between acrylic and plexi? 
2) Is there a preferred darkness, or is "smoked" a universal term. 
3) My golden tee monitor cover takes a pretty good beating (jammed fingers etc.) and it was suggested that I go with a .25" covering.  Would this impact the color of acrylic/plexi that I should get? 
4) I was going to use velcro tape to adhere the plexi/acrylic to my cabinet.  Would that be ok?  I don't want to use screws if possible.
