Where to get UV reactive acrylic?

torin3 · 12-21-2003, 09:15 PM

Well, I'm getting into watercooling and I like big cases (don't really move them around), so I was thinking of building my own acrylic cube, and wanted to make it out of UV reactive (clear/blue) acrylic. However, after spending most of the day searching the web, the only place I found that had it, wanted about $500 for a sheet of it, and it wasn't even clear, just a reactive flourescent.

Any suggestions? And how much is reasonable for 4'x6' sheet of 1/4" of it?

EDIT, Sorry, forgot to include location. I'm in the NorthEast US (PA/NJ border)

More research revealed a few possible sources. Looks like Acrylite GP-FL is the product I want. I've got a question in with the manufacturer as to whether or not it will really perform well under UV light. Even found a place realtively close to me that has 3 full sheets of 1/4" in stock. Unfortunatley they want $195 per sheet. 1 should do for my project. Now if only I could find a place local that does laser cutting where you don't have to buy the material through them.
