Phil,
>>But just as I decided that I needed a tougher material than double
strength glass this discussion started and it has been elucidating.
I have ordered some double wall polycarbonate from a farm supply
place on the west coast. It comes in 4'X8' sheets. It seems
relatively inexpensive although the shipping costs are horrendous.
My question: How does one cut the stuff? With a circular saw?<<
I cut mine with a small hand held electric sabre saw. I marked the cuts
with a straightedge and a "Sharpie" pencil.
Worked pretty good. The stuff is pretty tough, but it cuts OK. The sabre
saw was a lot handier, so I didn't try a circular saw, but it might work.
Congratulations on getting a good deal. I've never heard of anyone selling
double wall polycarbonate at anywhere near what I'd term a reasonable
price. Are you absolutely sure it's polycarbonate and not twin wall
polyethylene? The shipping and crating charges on mine were pretty
horrendous too. And, of course, I changed my plans halfway through and had
to order some more, which meant double the horrendous shipping and crating
charges.
