| 1165344 | 2010-12-28 22:52:00 | I am making an electronics project and need a small sheet of Perspex for the front panel. It only needs to be 195mm x 64mm and thickness 2mm, so quite small really. Clear or see-through blue would be needed. Is this something I can buy somewhere sensibly, or will they want to sell me massive sheets for a lot of money? |

| 1165345 | 2010-12-28 22:59:00 | Check out any of the producers of perspex or plastic holders., The two I use in Nelson have bins of off-cuts ranging in thickness and a great range of sizes - all for a low price. I make patterns for quilters and parts for toys with the stuff. | Scouse (83) | ||
| 1165346 | 2010-12-28 23:07:00 | Where are you based? I know a local place in West Auckland, friendly dudes that work there. Even let me custom make a perspex panel, with holes for a couple of fans for a pretty reasonable price. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||

| 1165350 | 2010-12-29 00:38:00 | These guys: http://www.creativeacrylic.co.nz/ Thanks for that, I've sent them an email. I also found some guys in Wellington who would do it for $5, but of course shipping cost is a bit silly at $10. They are on Trademe (www.trademe.co.nz) if anyone is interested. Not sure if they also have a website, they don't seem to mention one. |
