Acrylic colored sheet for refugium

You can check here as well Plexiglass White & Black acrylic sheets they might cut for you but I doubt it

here is probably better (for getting cut to size) https://www.tapplastics.com/product/plastics/cut_to_size_plastic

for just light blocking, 1/16" is enough, 1/8" would be fine too. You should only need to tack-weld, if even that. If you were able to find some 100% plastic/nylon screw clamps, that would work also - search for "plastic anodizing clamp" which are 100% non-metallic, I did a quick search, looks like a bit of a specialty item

 

yeah for this, anything would really do the trick - polycarbonate/lexan, extruded is ok, doesn't need to be cell cast or continuous cast. I think I've got a full 4'x8' sheet of 1/8" 'smoke' color. Heck I probably have a full sheet of 1/8" black too (probably sitting on a rack at Chestnut Signs)

 

It would be messy, but you could do it. I'll try to see if I have some partial sheets of scrap in my garage, otherwise I gotta make a trip to Chestnut and have them get a sheet down off the rack.

 

DIY hack to the rescue! Pics or it didn't happen

 

I'm not sure when you got it there, but I've always found them very difficult to deal with. In fact I think the last time I called them, they said they were no longer selling to the general public. Unlike the other Regal Plastic locations around the state...just stay away from the Clive store.

Go here instead, these folks are really nice, I got some applicator bottles and weldon from them a while back, I think they have a scrap bin as well
