As topic says, just trying my luck here since I'm unable to find. some of you might know.
looking for UV reactive acrylic, 8mm thick clear colour without UV, under UV lighting glows green. or green tinted, under UV lighting glows green.
Need about 2x1 feet.
Please let me know if you have or you know where to get.

Thanks a lot for your effort. anyway, the thing about spraying it with flourescent paint, whether transparent or not, is it will affect the clarity of the acrylic.

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.

QUOTE(zahri @ May 14 2006, 09:07 PM) 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....  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?

QUOTE(zahri @ May 15 2006, 03:25 PM) @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.
