Where to buy acrylic rods, discs, weldon 16

[SDguy]

So I'm getting ready to aquascape my new tank. Can someone recommend where to buy 3/8" acrylic rod (clear will do, colored would be nice though), 5" round 1/2" thick discs, and weld-on 16?

TIA

Yes, I found them. Thanks. They only have clear acrylic rod, and their round discs are pretty thin...was looking for thicker.

I remember a while back though I found a place through google probably that sold colored acrylic rod. Anyone else?

Check you local yellow pages.

I'm sure there are acrylic shops local that should stock everything your looking for.

You could always glue two disks together using weld-on 4 or 3.

Although looking at their store locations they don't have any that far south, I think the do ship.

OK, so got the rods and discs from USplastics. As suggested, I will just glue some thin discs together to make them thicker.

Weldon 3 was recommended by a local plastics shop, so I will pick that up from them.

Thanks for the replies.
