1/4" and 3/8" black plastic Sheets

[Im Lon 2]

Does anyone use anything like this in there DIY projects? If so what type of projects could I use this on? Also if anyone needs any let me know.

like acrylic sheets? you can use it for sumps or tanks (background piece anyways) or quarantine tank. anything you need to hold water. i'm looking for some cheap acrylic sheets does anyone know of a place?

 

[Im Lon 2]

Yes it's like Acrylic but it has a shiny side and a dull side.

I used to use those but when I got out of prison they told me that I had to give them up! :lol:

Well the thing here is I can get as much of this Black plastic that I want 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 I believe much cheaper than anyone. I do not think that this is Arcylic. I can also get 55 gallon plastic drum's cheaper than anyone (this I know for sure). I just don't know who wants it or what to do with the large amounts of it.

will that stuff adhere to glass, to make baffles for a sump? if so i could use some. also you granite guys i would like to know if there would be sometime i can come look at your tanks.

Would this work for making an overflow?

Is this stuff flexible or rigid?

Kind of sounds like sheets of PVC.

 

[Im Lon 2]

Yes it like a sheet of PVC the thinner stuff is flexable but the 1/4" and 1/2" do not have much give. I think it would work perfect for Overflows and Baffles.

Does it remind you of the stuff that Rick Rottets tanks were made of?

 

[Im Lon 2]

Yes

I don't know Lonnie but if I had a nice new stand I might just line the inside with the stuff.

 

[Im Lon 2]

we have talked about building a stand with that being the skin, but don't know what we would use for coner piece to hide the butted ends.

I wouldn't doubt that you could order some corners for it.
