[zombie&lemons]

anyone

oh yeah when i posted i wast half asleep and the thumbs down looked like a "?"

i never used it but its basic properties are stronger, more durabable then pexi glass and also more $$$$ in my expirence... personally i would/ will use plate glass over pexi or lexan for a cage cause its more scratch resistance and cheaper .

well i had the lexan here at the house cause i was gonna mold new headlights to get clear lenses but that feel through and the whole lens cracked. will in the process of get all this reptile stuff done my car audio i also have to save up 2gs for headlight thats what they cost for 2 headlight 2GRAND!!!! i was gonna go with glass to but i was worried about it breaking unless i get the kinda of glass windshields are made of

I use plexi on some of my enclosures and find it gets scratched to easily, for my other enclosures I us a 5 mil glass and it works great and is very sturdy.. As for the headlight thing.. Wow do I feel sorry for you... I just replaced my headlight and it only cost $100.. By chance are your headlights made of gold...lol Take care..

well the glass windshields are made of is call tempered glass, u cant cut the stuff and generally costs alot more then plate. and if by chance tempered glass broke itd be a bigger mess lol ... i think if u went with 1/8'' plate ud be find .. thats what im putting in my new cage im making... but if u already got the lexan use that it wont scratch as easy as plexi.

I'm on the same side of the fence with plate glass. No scratching and I've never broken any. Just ask for double-strength and you'll be set. I use 1/4" because it's even a little stronger, but that's just what I like. Still not as expensive as lexan or plexi.

[zombie&lemons]

well i already used plexi and the two piceses of lexan that i had i was just wondering the differnence between the two beside that lexan is 200times stronger than glass

[SnM_Man]

the main difference between plexi n lexan is lexan is 100times stronger lol or somethin like that and is more scratch resistant
