Yeah I didn't chime in because my plate is too full to help others at the moment. That is, unless he wants to trade dry wall work for acrylic work haha

Ben Su at Building an Obsession (BAO) is in Houston, Marc Levenson (Melevs reef) who's in Dallas. I think are the two locals that do it regularly.

Cody, where do you buy your acrylic from?

Haha floating is no big deal. Blending texture is an art form though, but this is all new construction with no texture.

I buy from a few places online. Eplastics, usplastics, etc. Just make sure you're using cast acrylic, because chances are, your dimensions can get by with 1/4" acrylic, but the cheap extruded stuff isn't as resilient and will probably crack within a year or two. You gonna build yourself?

I'ma try to build it myself if possible. If not, little will be lost. I'll get help if I fail.
