Where do you guys in houston go to get your acrylic for DIY projects? I am making a hang on back refugium and need some 1/4 inch acrylic, but the place down the street was going to charge me 130$ for the amount that i needed, which i know is WAY over priced, it should be more around 40.

Uh, I may pay too much, but it's usually around $3 a square foot for the 1/4" Acrylite FF that I usually use. I get it at Professional Plastics on the beltway.

Try Regal Plastics (yellow pages), you can buy scrap for 75 cents a pound.

I normally just get it ripped into manageable sizes (which doesnt cost anything, think 3'x4' pieces) and then cut it myself. It's easy enough to do with a table saw and $8 plastics blade.

It's on the beltway south near 288, if memory serves. www.professionalplastics.com or something like that.
