    I'm looking for some perspex for a project at home,
    probably about 4 sheets measuring 60cm x 60cm.

    Does anyone know where I can get perspex in cork?
    Any idea how much the above is likely to set me back?

    Thanks.

    I personally would go for a polycarbonate sheet as it will not shatter like perspex.More expensive ,but it depends what you want it for.I'm in waterford and we get it locally,so sourcing it in cork should be no problem.

    I rang a place in togher in cork.
    asked for 4 sheets of foot x 2 foot sheets of perspex,
    they only have 6mm, i said how much and i was told 195euro.
    I had no idea it cost so much, i was expecting ti to cost less than 50e!
    Guess i havent a clue!

    Ah well, that puts that project in the bin.

    thx for the help anyway.
