It is sold at both of those stores. The Luctite is more expensive
then
the
acrylic. I recently both a 6 x 4 foot sheet of the Lexan for about
$57.
You can get cutters to cut it to the correct size for about $2.00 or
you
can have the store do it for you.

All the best,

Just don't use a laser to cut lexan...

You can cut polycarbonate (generic name for Lexan) with woodworking
tools.

Polycarbonate is not Lexan is not polycarbonate.

Well that would certainly be news to GE. They manufacture Lexan and sell
it
as polycarbonate.

Well...yes, you're right... But true Lexan is different from what most
people think of when they talk about polycarbonate. It has different
properties than the "usual" less expensive stuff (and it's all expensive).
