Kenny,
In that whole list, not one acrylic brand is listed. Look for one of 3 brand names is if looking for cell cast: Spartech Polycast, Cyro Acrylite GP, and Plexiglas G. If you are wanting extruded, Cyro Acrlyite FF is by far the best IMO.

the 3 listed all have their logo/names all over the paper, so you will know what you get. Just ask for it by name, they should know what your talking about. If they havent heard of those, well then run away, your better off not being there haha.
