FREE PLEXIGLASS(almost)

[rherrell]

I'm a supervisor in a custom electric sign shop and as I was watching them clean the shop I thought ,man, we throw away ALOT of plastic!So here's what I thought. If some of you who use plexi to stabilize with want some,just pay for shipping and throw in a couple of blanks you make from it and I'll send you all you want. I'd say we throw away 5 or 6 55gal cans full a week. Supply is pretty much unlimited and it will all be clear scrap. Here's a few photos of faces waiting to be trimmed and some different colored junk in the yard. Let me know what you think!

Just make sure it is plexi and not lexan. Lexan will not work or so I have been told.

I'd be very interested in some clear Plexi, as well as some black or silver if you have it.

Hmmm, that looks more like polycarbonate than acrylic (plexiglass) to me, but I'm happy to be mistaken. I drive past Pilot Mountain a couple of times a year - could I stop by sometime and grab some scraps? I'd even take a 55gal drum full off your hands - if you're throwing away the drums also.

Regards,
Eric

What do I do to test it? I have some acetone. Do I just put some in and wait and see if it dissolves?

 

[rherrell]

I just asked the shop foreman and he said it was acrylic. Polycarbonate is the fancy name for Lexan(brand name)and we use very little of that.

If it's 1/4" material, I'd LOVE to have some of it. I cut clock parts on the laser from acrylic. See this sample:

Edit: Well, darn. How do I post a picture here????[!]

I do want some but not this week. I have more furniture and boxes to pack and move/store.

I might be interested in a boxful. What size box would you use so that I would know how much the shipping charges would be? Thank you.
