I need a piece of flat sturdy plastic about 1/8 thick. Does anybody know where I can buy this? I dont want plexiglass, its too expensive.
Lexan is available at homedepot and lowes, and the low grade stuff is pretty darn cheap. It comes in several types, i'm sure you don't need to super strong stuff. Alternatively, you can try a craft store like Micaels, A.C Moore, etc (assuming you live in the US).
Hardware stores like Home Depot or Lowe's have sheeted plastic, but I'm not sure if this is what you need. If you want a relatively small sheet of stiff plastic, then I would recommend going to a dollar store and seeing if you could modify something that would work for you. Also, if you are looking for clear plastic there are photo-protection sheets that are stiff and come in 8.5x11 size. Go to a photo shop. A pharmacy with photo developing might have them but you never can tell what they will or will not stock.
You okorder / okorder / GOOD LUCK !!
places that sell glass/mirrors, etc usually have acrylic that they can cut for u
