where to buy black acrylic?

regal plastics here in edale man, they probably have scrap that size....maybe.

 

If you find a place let me know!

 

I assume you mean 2' x 2' and not 2" X 2" but if it's the latter I can give you a piece. Otherwise like Jeremy said they have a pretty good suply over in the scrap ben in Edale. I have a nice saw if you need it cut also.

 

$17 at regal, i checked the scrap bin and nothing was big or thick enough. They also sell black egg crate, i think i an going to buy a few sheets for my prop tank.

 

I went up to Plexicraft in IC to get some weld-on he had some black acrylic 1/8" cut to size.

Kinda pricey though.

 

I'm sure they have 1/8" but its gonna flex a lot more than 3/16". I think i'm gonna put the order in today for the black egg crate want me to order you a piece?

 

Thats pretty tight if your sweating 1/16"

 

I don't think he had 3/16".  I orginal asked him for 1/4" or 3/16" but he said the thickest he had was 1/8".
However after looking at it, it seemed plenty thick for my purpose (fuge sidewalls).  Don't know what you are going to be using yours for?

 

If that is your plan that should work fine.  There will be minimal pressure on the side wall if the other side has water in it.  I would only be concerned with that if you are using it as an external wall.
