BornToHula Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I have a few acrylic projects I want to try and do myself. Does anyone know of a good acrylic vendor in town where I can buy sheets of various thickness? A google search turned up Regal Plastics and Austin Plastic Supply, but both had some mixed reviews. Any experience with either of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstarwiggle Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Plus 1 on regal!! They have a 25 dollar minimum walk in purchase. The guy helped me was nice and let me spend less than 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToHula Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Cool, Regal it is then. I assume they will be able to help me pick the correct type of acrylic to use for aquarium situations? I know I need cell cast acrylic, but further than that I'll need some help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I used Regal Plastics last time. One gentlemen was pretty rude to me. I guess me coming in dressed like I've been working in the garage all day gave him a different impression of me. His first sentence to me was we have a $25/minimum. The lady that helped me the following time was a pleasure. I guess that would explain the mixed reviews. Either case, random customer service aside, it's a good place to get what you need.

GrimReefer Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Anyone know if they refinish acrylic? Too late to call and ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I've been going tot Austin plastics for like 20 years. Regal Plastics is a bigger place with more product in stock and but I've seen some turnover with their sales staff over the years, over all I've been pretty happy with the ones I've talked too on the occasional visit I make there.
