Acrylic scraps

[Nola Bear]

I am looking for some small pieces of acrylic (probably something like a 4"x12" piece and a couple smaller pieces to make a slight modification. Where do you typically buy acrylic, just the local hardware stores? I've never used acrylic before so if there is anyone who uses it often, let me know.

Or do you buy acrylic online. If so, what site is recommended?

I appreciate any advice.

They have a scrap bin. You can find what you need there and they can answer any questions about using acrylic.

+ one on Farco, but I know it might be a drive for you. They are really fair and sometimes just give it to you. What thickness? I have some laying around, but not sure what your looking for. You also need the correct glue for what mod your making. PM me, I probably can help ya out.

Hey buddy, I appreciate the feedback. I'm needing to put together a skimmer and media reactor stand for the back chamber of my Red Sea e260. I'm guessing the I need to perforate a long piece, maybe 12"x4", or thereabouts. I would then need to bond on two to three 4"x6" supports to raise it up.
