Re: Thermoplastic Question

Mike, please re-read the allowed materials sections of the Manual. Plexiglass (or acrylic) is legal just the same as Lexan (polycarbonate). It's just a little bit more finicky about how you need to treat it if you don't like it breaking

As long as the thermoplastic is under the cost restrictions and weight restrictions, nothing says that you can't use it.
