Contact James at Envision Acrylics, (he's a sponsor), see if he has scraps or is willing to sell to you.

Or Tap Plastics might work.

I have some as well, Im able to get it at wholesale so I can sell it cheaper than Tap.

But, that only works if your in portland :)

drock,

What is it you are looking for?
If you coming to the next meeting (23rd IIRC), lemme know. I'm hoping to bring a bunch of <ahem> "scraps" that are too small for most of my stuff, too good for landfill, but hopefully - maybe just right for something you'd need? If I know prior, I'll stick your name on some :)
BTW, mostly 1/4", but some up to 3/4", almost all clear, but maybe some odds & ends colors as well. Kinduva spring cleaning for me. Almost all cell cast Cyro and Polycast. Doubt I'll bring any tube as I don't use it, don't buy it much.

Lemme know,
James

I got a 4' x 8' sheet of 1/4" Plexiglass-G from a company in Portland the cost was around $110. I had a really hard time finding a sheet of cast acrylic locally and he was by far the best price around. The company is DV Plastics and their number is: (503) 283-8949.

Drock get in touch with Breefencounters I am not sure if he regastered over here yet. He is on TRT. I think he has a whole sheet he did not use when he built his new sump. I know he is looking to get rid of it.
