Fair priced acrylic vendor?

Looking to make an overflow custom setup.
If anyone has a cheap source for 1/4 black acrylic and bulkheads let me know!

Good luck! Good friend of mine is shop manager for an acrylic manufacturing company. She said acrylic prices have gone through the roof because of the demand for all kinds of custom PPE. She's having to order expensive high strength stuff just for basic things. You might try finding the nearest companies that manufacture stuff from acrylic and start checking thier dumpsters for leftovers. Sci-Grip #40 is a 2 part that is a lot stronger than the single part #3, #4 or #16 if you find what you need.

Those are all retrofit kits. I have an already drilled tank in the bottome with a smashed up overflow, so i either need a full sized or custom.
