Call glass shops, like toughs for replacement windows. They will have stock or can order and cut any size. Hardware stores and home improvement stores usually have some, some can cut it, others your hauling home and cutting it. RJF

My local hardware store has it and sometimes you can get the scrap pieces for free since somebody paid for the whole piece. I use to have a endless supply from one of my daughters friends dad, but he no longer works at the display makers factory.

I bought Lexan at Lowe's and they would cut it for me. I used it to make screen door covers for RVs so we could leave our main door open and still get sunlight without the breeze/wind.

Ebay always has it.

My step father used to cut it a lot. He lived in a very small town ,so I assume it is readily available. I remember looking at his saw and telling him his blade was upside down. He said that was how he cut plastic.

Believe it or not, the best tool I have found for effective, fast, clean straight cuts in poly sheeting is this saw. Cut at a low angle, about 25 degrees or so from horizontal, it cuts fast and is easy to stay on a line.

It's very useful for other substrates as well,  like wood...

Check with your local frame shop.  We (ArtCrafters) always have framing quality pieces, leftovers from larger projects.  You can also cut to size on the scroll saw.

I've used these guys several times. I've made lots of lamps using their amber 1/8" plexi-glass. Both sides are paper adhesive and are great for marking. I use a 70 tooth blade on my table saw and it cuts like butter but  makes a lot of dust. Cuts great on the scroll saw too. https://www.ebay.com/str/popdisplays.
