If you are thinking of coming into the GTA for clear plastic-y stuff I can suggest comparing prices with P&A Plastics in downtown Hamilton - https://paplastics.com/ they can be a pretty good source to try - and Princess Auto has some Acrylic sheets as well (Sorry I think they were on sale LAST week...) https://www.princessauto.com/en/96-x-48 ... 0009107202
