windscreen material

[mcgilld]

Evening ausfishers - I'm wanting to replace a windscreen - does anybody know much about the different materials, where you get them and how exe they are? Somebody mentioned 'lexan' on another chatboard.

Lexan is a very tough, but very expensive material.

3 or 4 mm acryllic is what is used.

It is available clear or tinted.

Modular Plastics at Springwood can help. Thats where I get all my windscreen material. They also have the HDPE for cutting boards.
