    Try Industrial Plastic in Richmond across from MacDonald near Ikea.

    If you want to come to Coquitlam, let me know the sizes you need. I can see what I can do for a small cutting fee.

    look in the yellow pages to see if there is a Sign shop somewhere near you. They ususally have lots of scraps of thin acrylic

    Don't want to hijack the thread...but gklaw, can you source and cut Acrylic? I'm thinking about building a small corner aquarium, diamond shaped or bowfront.

    Thanks!
