|  What material, besides lexan, have you used to make panels?
I'm looking to make some panels for something I am doing, and don't have the lexan needed. I do have some styrene, and some thin acrylic. I guess if it fits, why not??

I've seen people cut up energy cans and use them for panels, or beer cans lol Styrene can work I guess, depending on thickness and all that. There is probably more but I can't think of it right now lol |
