[Public-list] Lexan or Acrylic ?

[Roger L. Kingsland]

This summer I had a local glass company make new port lights with 1/4" lexan
(I did clear but it also comes in colored tints) using the old ones as a
template.  He did all eight for about $110 plus 7% tax.  I would be happy to
ask him to make more if anyone is interested.
