Perspex info Needed

[Aunty Jack]

Hi can any one tell me were l could buy some perspex.
For my screen at a fair price on the gold coast.
And what would be the best meathod to cut down the screen.
l want to trim it down from about 700mm to around 300mm
To make it easyer to get to the ancore well.

how much persplex are you after. 300mm square.. i may have some floating around at the shop you can have.

persplex isn't cheap and you would want atleast 5 - 8mm thickness.

let me know, but i'll have a look tomorrow for you

I got a screen for my CC made up 700mm front and 400mm sides for around $100
which i think was fair. cheers

[Aunty Jack]

thats sounds fair enough were obouts was that from
and was it with your frame or a new one

[Aunty Jack]

thanks for the offer but l'm not sure witch way l'm going just yet.
l think that more than 300x300 will be needed

Swampman62,

Try a window/glass place. I bought a piece about 400mm square a couple of years ago for about $30 from memory.

Swampman,
when you work out what size & thickness is required, post it up, some of us may have offcuts laying around that may suit..

You can cut perspex down with a circular saw and a good blade, although a table saw will work better.

I have done a bit of perspex work. It machines a little like wood, but you have to use sharp, quality cutting blades and the right tools.

there is a boat windscreen place near harbour town
i dont know much about it but its been there for a long time

Hey,

Scotty is thinking of Marlin Plastics right next door to Harbourtown on Brisbane Rd.

I have used them before. For simple supply perspex they are great and priced really well. When you ask them to put the screen together with framing ect the price jumps very quickly.

Regards
