Default Lexan gurus possible help?

Hey all,

Here's my predicament at the moment.

I have a lexan rear-window, thick and decent quality. However, there are a few "speed holes" in it and I want to make some small housings that would keep it open, but not allow rain to get in.

Anyone know where I can get a sheet or small pieces of lexan and what sort of bonding agent to use?

Thanks, ~Eric

Try Tap Plasctics, they've helped me on a couple projects and pretty much know everything related to what you're doing.

Is this what you're looking to do?

You want to make certian that you buy a polycarbonate such a Lexan and not a clear acrylic or crystal styrene. I would go to Mcmaster-carr for raw material like this.

Yep. I make hockey visors from the poly from HD. 3/32" thickness. It's tough to bend.
