Farco Plastics on US19 has some nice scrap bins. Sold by the pound if i remember right

Wow, GE was expensive.

$174 for a 4ft x 8ft piece. More than I wanted to pay.

I'll have to check out the Farco. I'd rather just buy some scraps of what I need..

Talked to Farco.. 3/8" clear cell cast is not something they keep a lot of scrap on.. full sheet required.

172.35 + plus at Farco.,.

you wont find it much cheaper anywhere,acrylic is petrolium based and when oil prices rise so does acrylic.

Home depot sells acrylic sheet and pieces. May have the grade/thickness you are looking for.

try curbell plastics on bryan dairy. i used to know a salesman there and had an "inside" price, but he's moved on now. i'm not sure what they chage for a sheet, but i know they can cut it to any size you want.

They only stock extruded... I need cell cast.
