K_SubieXT Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I'm considering doing a window on the 4th order I'm building soon and there is only up 1/4 inch plexi at my lowe's. my question is would it be okay to cut small squares and stack 3 or 4 of them? Also would it be safe to use plexi at all instead of lexan?

I cut my aero ports with my table saw so I learn that lesson the hard way. I'm mainly hoping the edges can be rounded over with a router if need too. Can the peices be ordered pre-cut from the sight?

95neon_thumper82 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 here's a word of advice... go locally first if at all possible. I found a few suppliers on line they all wanted 80 plus bucks for the piece in my sixth order.. I went to a local supplier. . talked to him a little and got it for 30... cut and out the door... go local it'll save you money <img src=http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/w610/beastly666bassboy/IMG_9611192581855_zps9b9b76be.jpg border=0 alt= height="75" width="800"> Growing old is necessary... growing up is an option! Have fun or you might as well fall into a 6 foot deep hole. Its much easier to be smart and act stupid then it is to be stupid and act smart! You're only limited by your imagination!
