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?

Hi:

Did that project two years ago: six 7"x15" through bolted "deadlights"
3/8" polycarbonate = Lexan. Do shop around. I found prices vary
wildly. THe cheepest place I found was a small glass shop that also
had a contract with the local correctional insitution. Bad guyes =
Lexan. The price diffrence was somthing on the order of $2.50 compared
to $14.00 a square foot. Duhhh. I love Lexan. It takes a curve well
without cracking like acrylic, easy to cut/drill, cheep if you find
the right place. It even stops bullets! But need to use a silicon
based adhesive/selant. There is some stuff called "structural"
silicone that is totally HD. Dow Corning and others make it. Hve fun,
I did!
