    Anyone in this forum able to cut a small piece of acrylic?  All I need is 7 1/4" x 4" at 1/8" thickness.  If so, let me know what you want for it $$.  Thanks!

    Get a straight edge and a utility knife. Score the sheet along the straight edge several times. Bend gently and it will snap along the cut.

    If you buy it at Lowe's in Waterloo they will cut it to size for free.

    I will cut it for you. I bet if you went to anemones clowns and corals they would have a piece to sell you.

    Stop out at Regal Plastics in Evansdale & ask for Denny. Tell him you are with the club & want to look through his scrap. Its usually dirt cheap.

    Wow, what a great group of guys. That was some quick help/advice! Thanks everyone! I have another question but will post it seperately. I have what looks like someone plopped a spoon full of yogart on top of my rocks...and not sure what that is...good or bad.
