Transparent Plastic Sheet
I need a couple of small pieces (1-1/2" X 2-3/4") of transparent plastic
tinted preferably red but other colors may be acceptable. These are for a display window on an electronic readout. If anyone has a small sheet of plastic stock like that or can suggest a retail outlet that may offer it, I would appreciate it. Andy WD4KDN |

Hi Andy, I recently purchased some "polarizing film" for the same purpose, and the minimum purchase was 2 feet square. If you'll confirm your address, I'll drop a piece in the mail, 4 square feet is a lifetime supply for me. Jingle bells W4ZCB |

Andy WD4KDN Go to a place that sells plexiglass, and buy a small piece of thin red plexiglass. I think another color, like smoke/gray may also work. You may find they already have a box of scrap pieces, that they'll sell to you real cheap, or maybe even free. Since you need only a small piece, you have more luxury than someone who needs a big piece. Or, assuming you just want it for contrast and dust rather than because you expect a lot of pressure or force on it, you can go to a stationary store and buy a red plastic report cover. Cut out the pieces you need, and mount it behind your front panel. The cover should cost under a dollar. Again, you might also consider smoke/gray covers. Michael VE2BVW |

Michael VE2BVW thanks for the suggestions Michael. Harold, W4ZCB is sending me some material he used on a similar project. There will be no pressure or stress on it. It is merely cover for a digital readout more for aesthetics than anything else. I had considered Lexan and using some sort of film on it, but Lexan off-gasses, and would most likely bubble up any type of applied film. -- Gun Control works!!! 3 million Holocaust victims can’t be wrong. |

Cope Plastics is a good supplier.
