Have posted previously, looking for a source of black matt plastic 1m x
8-10cm wide. Suggestion was signwriting or RS Components.Cant find anything suitable in the RS site. Been to a couple of signwriting shops, without sucess.
Any other suggestions. Alternative plan is to use aluminium sheet, and spray black.
After years of thinking about it! Ive finally decided to build a new hood
>for the aquarium (never happy with the original and have never finalised >the
>design of the replacement untill now), rather than use wood (and the issues
>with moisture etc ) I have decided to keep to plastic as the original is. >
>I have worked out the design is but I am unsure where to source the

>For the hood facings I require a small supply (about 3 pcs) of flat acrylic

A local signwriting firm or RS Components
