thanks, hoggn. i was looking for something local. i did end up getting some sent by mail, but would have preferred to get my leak fixed sooner rather than later.

just for future reference, if anyone does know of any plastics suppliers who sell acrylic sheets and weld-on in the philly area, it'd be good information to have.

It's on the north side of the street level of the vine street expressway (westbound), right next to some charter school.

that's great to know, thanks. getting handy with acrylic seems like a good skill to have in this hobby.

They are not there anymore, the store was empty, looks like they closed down.
