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.

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) biggrin.gif

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

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?
