[Bloominglabs-announce] [Bloominglabs-members] Cheap acrylic at Rural King

[Pete Kinne]

“single strength” is an industry term for window glass.  It’s the thinnest window glass available, next is “double strength”.  Anything thicker than those two would likely be plate glass, 1/4 inch or more.  The single strength acrylic is aimed at window glass replacement, especially for DIY.

They're "single strength", which isn't a term I was familiar with, but it looks like it's a variable thickness pour, which isn't ideal for boxes, but should be fine for art pieces , windows, or any other use that doesn't require close tolerances on thickness.

Location: leaning against a shelving unit directly in from the left set of doors.  Yellow plastic protective coating (this should probably come off before you cut it--don't know its cut properties yet).
