Acrylic vendors in SoCal area

[ADreef]

I was wondering if anyone has any experience buying cast acrylic sheet anywhere in the Los Angeles/Orange County/San Diego area. About the only places I have any experience with so far are San Diego Plastics and Ridout Plastics (also in San Diego). Both of those places seem to be extremely expensive - at least compared to prices I have seen online (before shipping) or heard about from other parts of the country.

I am looking to build a tank or two and a couple of sumps in the near future and would be using 1/4, 3/8, and possibly 1/2" cast sheet.

I have already heard about American Plastics in Camarillo and Paragon Plastics, but not much info on prices or brands they sell. Has anyone had recent experience with these places or others?

Thanks!

When I lived in San Diego, Ridout plastics was the cheapiest place around. I think prices have gone up dramatically over the years. I know they are high up here at the only place we have.

Try Lairds plastic, GE polymers, Orange COunty industrial plastics, paragon plastics, industrial plastics in orange, plastic depot in gardena, ridout plastics, professional plastics.
Most of these guys will price match if you ask.

Prices are going up because acrylic is made from oil.
