@metalzone,

i think if u spray surely it will not be transparent anymore... it will be covered fully

try using CANDY colours.. they have a transparent effect

Good LUCK

metalzone u go buy 2mm acrylic and stick 4 pieces together. Woila 8mm

if ur willing to change from green under uv to blue under uv...

perhaps u could CHECK THIS OUT ... have a read at the first post

but then not sure how itll effect the acrylic's clarity though

i'm not sure i sthi sis u looking for..
between Jln Pasar & Pudu Plaza, look for a shop named
Arcylic disturbitor..

they hav some so called fluorescent aryclic..use it on my old casing where i throw away years ago...
light nicely under UV.. hahah
come in green, orange which is more commmon.

but if u are looking for 8mm thick.. dont think they hav it. try your luck there..usually come in 2-3mm only for those flurescent type.
and usually they sell in big piece 4X8..
they might sell u if they hav left over small pieces left.

Else try your luck at another shop near Bulatan Pahang, off Jln Ipoh.
is somewhere in between Bulatan Pahang and Jln Kuching.
not been there years. hopefully is still there. due to some heavy road consturction oevr d year.
is located at the row of shop beside a Proton service under d bridge.
just beside the main road from Bulatan Pahang towards Jln Kuching.
Hope u can get d location.

else. u can try get a clear 8mm aryclic and get a Fluroscent color DYE.
place d aryclic into a boiling sink.
add d dye in. cook it for maybe 30min or an hour.
to enable to dye stick on d arcliyc..
hope it work...

I seen ppl tint acrylic. Jz go to one of the car tint shops and buy tint film any colour then tint the acrylic lor

@metalzone,

i think the platicote will work.....

its a clear coating spray which has a UV effect under UV LIGHTS !!

COOL.... Good IDEA !

TRY it out... i think it will work.... clarity wise...

just spray it evenly and nicely....

Where can we get it??

daze: thanks for your advice! will try to check out those places.

madman: haha yeah, i saw that b4. may affect the clarity though, perhaps not to a big extent.

lanevochris: glueing few pieces of acrylic together not an option at all. i'm using this to make a reservoir for water cooling, hence the 8mm thick requirement.

erm...

i just saw the 8mm thick acrylic yesterday, but not UV , just plain ol clear acrylic.

the fella told me he needs to cut it using machinery ( rotary, jigsaw or something)

Plasticote UV spray is the way to go....

DYE it is possible..
u dun have to mess with even issue. haha..

glueing few pieces of acrylic together ...dun use cloroform. dry out too fast..
get some patience. get a better grade, PVC glue.
smell like cloroform too. but in thicker medium.
paste evenly. clear away d bubble. bond it and clamp it. left it over nite.
but only recommneded for small surface not so big...
haven try before so big.

8mm thick clear acrylic very easy to find. I've even got 10mm thick here.
Basically anything above 2mm should be using coping saw or machinery adi.

daze: planning to use this to weld the assembly together: http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=131&
any idea where to find it?

@metalzone,

my best guess is trying ace hardware ? or big hardware shops....

they might carry this stuff....

or acrylic distro ?

how much did u get the 10mm Acrylic for ?

RM90 for 2x2 feet
bombman now selling for RM80 i think. but that time i didnt know he was selling acrylic.

yeah. will definately try ace or homefix.
