Re: Will plexi-glass work?

Quote:
Mathew - are you sure it's plexiglas and not polycarbonate?
I'm sure if they broke any pieces drilling them it probably is polycarbonate. Those materials are a pain in the but to use.
Quote:
Also, one thing i saw was people confusing the terms lexan(polycarbonate) and plexi-glass(acrylic). I just don't want this thread to turn into a "Let's argue about what its called thread".
Actually they are trade-names which is why it gets so confusing. The trade names for polycarbonate are: Lexan, Hyzod, and Tuffak. The trade names for acrylic well according to my book there is only one trade name. It is plexi-glass. Go figure. Also I have heard bad stories about using loctite on plastic materials. I heard it actually weakens the materials. Anyone care to find out if this is true?
*hint* Want to see something cool. Take two polarizing filters and stack them one on top of the other. Turn them until you can't see any light coming out. Then point them at a opaque material like lexan. You would be able to see any of the stresses put on the material*end of hint*
