Anyone know of a local source for clear plexiglass sheets? I found a place online but they're charging as much for shipping as they are for the plastic. This is to make a crude, transparent acoustic divider between a singer's microphone and a drum kit. 2'x4' would be just dandy.
Home Depot or Lowes is where I've always gotten mine. I assume they stock it for all those landlords, like the guy I used to rent from in Boylan Heights, who like to replace busted windows with plexi, so that next time the burglars can just push in on it & pop it out.

If you want really crude and really cheap, picture frame shops end up with lots of 8-inch by 6-foot ends when they cut the plexi for frames. Epoxy 'em together. They might hand it over for a song, so to speak.
