Hi Guys,

I live in northern Virginia and wanted to know if anyone knew where the best place to buy acrylic sheets from. It dosent matter if it is online or in my surrounding area.

I know that you can buy sheets of acrylic from Ace hardware for a decent price. Also check Ebay, I have bought black acrylic off there a few times. Even with shipping It cost less then a lot of other websites. I have a few good plastic distributors bookmarked as well if you are looking for custom shapes

Those would be very helpful because i do need custom sizes.

BWA,

Please remember you have to have CAST acrylic of a tank build. You can not use cheap extruded material for a pressure vessel. Depending on the source cast acrylic is 3 to 4 times more expensive than extruded.

Thanks for the tip YankeePate. I have a question for you, do you think I can get by with 1/2 inch thickness with these dimensions : 66x26x20 (LxWxH)
