i actually went to the doctors monday, i weighed in
at a staggering 441 pounds...... the doc weighed
me twice, she said she thought i "look like you weigh
maybe 295-300"...

the double take at the 115/68 blood pressure,
161 cholesteral and 4.775 1AC sugar was
priceless....

healthy as a hippo. just too dang heavy!

are hippos healthy? they're one of the angriest creatures on the planet.... and I thought they were called Vets.

on a diet again, I'd say you were at least 300 lbs of crack

when you said that you dealt in chemicals, this was not what I thought.

and my most favoritest job ever... not

it would have been nice if this set of instructions had been included.. ah well, fortunately it's really expensive and they use FedUp

polycarbonate = bulletproof glass... (litteraly.)
a friends family runs MIN PLASTICS & SUPPLY
here on oahu, he says the polycarbonate is
pretty much "really hard clear rubber".....

so it's easy - acrylic will scratch your head when it breaks.... polycarbonite will bruise you.... but no scratches.

Which is OK for Mutt as he lives inside when not racing or going to and from the track. Still scratching my head on this.......

depends which you have to drill.... acrylic is a pain... outside of that, lexan is not UV stable and will only last up to 10 years.

Back from exercising my Google-Fu:

Lexan is a brand name for Polycarbonate sheet. It features excellent shatter resistance and resists scratching in normal use.

Plexiglas (brand name) or plexiglass (generic name) is acrylic sheet and was invented in the early 1930s. It is extremely clear but somewhat less impact resistant than polycarbonate and is somewhat more prone to scratching.

Which is better for car windows? Ya pays yer money ya takes yer chances.....

acrylic....Plexi and Lexan are a brand name for polycarbonate (they're the same thing)

We used Lexan at work for safety shields and it was a LOT tougher than plexiglass which we used for windows and some other application. We eventually stopped ordering plexi and just bought Lexan though it was quite a bit pricier - it was worth it. Now I have to go look up the formulations.......

[SuperBuickGuy]

Did they use plexi or Lexan?
