Thinking of replacing the lexan/port on the boat. I'm thinking that
purchasing this stuff and getting it cut is the trick.

Where does one go to find Lexan? Window places? Who carries it? And do
they normally cut it for you?


It cuts fine with a saw (I've used circular saws, jigsaws, sabresaws,
handsaws) -- cut it too fast and it melts; cut it just fast enough and it
softens ever-so-slightly without clogging up the saw teeth. I suppose you
might also be able to score and break it, but I've never tried. Plastics
shops have it for certain, some hardware stores. Even places like Home Depot
may have it. For a boat, you want the "MarGard" variety. UV and scratch
resistant.
