Where to buy a sheet of Lexan?

[ctrl+alt+del]

I'm in Houston and I need a sheet of Lexan about 6' x 3' x 1/4". Plexiglass is too easily cracked and yellows in the sun. Thanks in advance.

Bought a smaller, pre-cut piece at Lowe's not too long ago. They had bigger sheets- though I'm not sure if they had sheets that large. May be worth a call.

We buy it in volume, but for us it's about $75 a 4;X8' sheet.

IIRC, they reinforce the president's chair w/ lexan to make it bulletproof.

Out of curiosity, C+A+D, what do you need a whole sheet for?

Lexan is bulletproof?

lexan is what they use on fighter jet canopies.

industrial strength lexan as found on fighter jets or space hardware is not the same stuff as you're buying from lowes, the strength and melting temperature are MUCH different...

Hmm...doesn't sound very good in soup anyway.

Aero Wax will make your linoleum floor bulletproof.

There is a skylight on my patio that needs replacing and I would rather not replace it with plexiglass because it gets too brittle.
