Looking for Acrylic sheets or scraps

[McLaughlin4]

I want to make an over flow for my tank that I'm getting this weekend and thought my first small project might be making the overflow ,so that once the tank is drilled I can pt it in. Does anyone know where I can get some colored acrylic? Blue or black either is fine . And then also does anyone know what kind of blade is needed to cut acrylic ( for a table saw ) Or if there are any other ideas about making a RR overflow besides making a 3 sided box with slots at the top. I'm all ears . I also hope to document the whole set up of this tank.

Thanks James

Come on someone has to know where to get a little acrylic, somewhere local.

Try calling some local glass shops - I've gotten smaller pieces of acrylic sheet from Willow Ridge Glass (75th and Lemont) at fair prices
