Where do you guys go for your clear plexiglass for marquee's? I was just thinking about going to Lowes/HD and having a piece cut didn't know if you guys had a better solution. Thanks!

Menards, I buy a big sheet, then I just cut it on my table saw
If I may ask, what are the dimensions on that big sheet and how much is it at Menards?
Thanks for the tips guys!
Lowes and they cut it for me for free.
Your local Lowes cuts it for free? Damn.
tempered glass looks better, is more durable and is cheaper
At Lowes prices they should install it for you too!
But then again, Menards has been trending upwards significantly lately across the board, but still always beats HD/Lowes, just not as much as before; and you have to watch the off-brands as they often are lower quality -- like their velcro 8 hole sanding discs. They switched from Scotch/3M to their in-house brands, and both the basic and deluxe ones barely stay on the sander for more than 5-10 minutes if run at anything other than the slowest speed. Ruined about 15 of them still with nearly all the grit left, but no velcro loops remaining, vs. the 3M they used to carry (at a lower cost too) that I always burned through the disc and never lost velcro, even at the highest speed.
I get mine from a glass shop right near me...and they don't even do the tempered stuff in-house. Marquee-size is usually around 9 bucks, while monitor glass is around $15-20. I assume other glass shops would be similar. The place I go to for plexi/lexan is like three times as expensive as thatWhere are you getting cheap tempered glass at cut to size?
