Re: Acrylic Sheets
Stick with Lexan as everyone has suggested. Just a note in forming it. If you "heat soak" it for a while at below thermoform temp, you force out trapped vapor, and eliminate bubbling in the sheet that occurs if it is heated too fast. Experiment and it's appearance will be maintained.
