skippydiesel Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Update on all the above: My Lexan is 1.5mm 9030TG, which is just the standard stuff, TG being thin gauge. Lexan do not make a 1.5mm UV treated polycarbonate, so far as I can tell. However, in NZ, Mulford Plastics do. Price per 1200 X 2400 sheet is $135.10 + GST Static film starting to sound very cost effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cscotthendry Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 iBob: If you're looking for 1.5mm tinted Lexan in this country, forget about it. I went down that path when I was building the Nynja and had to replace some Lexan that I messed up. Every where I went the answer was the same "Not available in Oz". It is available in Europe as my Nynja kit came with 1.5mm tinted Lexan sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBob Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Yep, I'm not expecting to find tinted in 1.5mm, cscotthendry, but I'm interested in the UV treated stuff: that would be half the problem dealt with, and I know someone who is interested in the other half of a sheet to replace a windscreen. FWIW, untreated polycarbonate yellows and becomes brittle over time...though I'm more concerned about what the UV is doing to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippydiesel Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Go on try the KISS solution - might just work (it did for me) and if it doesn't for you, you have lost $15 - take me to court! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
