Acrylic Suppliers

[Joe Pelonio]

I'm just about of material for a job I'm working on. My supplier (TAP) is out, his supplier is out, and the manufacturer in Mexico is out. It has to be the same, Chemcast L-116 Flourescent Orange. I've called several others
in this area and none of them have it either.

Checking other sources most only have it in 1/8", but I need 1/4" (0.236).

Also, I noticed most places are charging $18 for 12x24 1/8", I've been paying $11.56 for the 1/4" ($185/4x8 sheet) but my customer will have to pay the difference if they want the rest of the order and I can find it.

Anyone have a plastic supplier I could try?

Joe:

One of my suppliers is famililiar with the item. He needs until tomorrow AM to check on availability. The company is ACI Plastics http://www.aciplastics.net/contactus.html

I've asked him to give me a call in the AM so I'll let you know then.

Bless you Mike, I appreciate it. :) My customer is currently at a booth in a show, and selling at a rate that they will run out of stock before it ends Saturday.

They keep e-mailing from their laptop to order more. I'm down to using scraps to squeeze out what I can, but eventually they will have to take
orders and I need the material to do the backlog.

Thanks Mike. I called Anaheim, they only had 1/8" but gave me the Oregon number. They also had only 1/8" but says he'll search for it.

Meanwhile this is the color below (my recycler failed to show up this week so the pile of "dead soldiers" is getting high)

:D It turns out the lady at a place here in Kent, WA that I called earlier today managed to find some sheets in Colorado. They are being sent up by truck so I'll have them in a week. Her price is lower so with shipping it's not too much more. Thanks for the help, Mike and Mike, if anyone does find someone else that stocks it let me have the number for future reference.

I second the suggestion to try Delvies. They keep a good stock of colors and have good prices.

[Joe Pelonio]

I'll be contacting Delvies, decent prices too. Thanks guys.

ACI Plastics does not have the item.

Thanks again Mike for trying. It looks like with the 2 4x8 sheets coming next week from CO I'll be OK to finish this job, then hopefully my regular
supplier will find some.
