R.G.	Re: Using plexi as eyelet / turret board material? "Plexiglas" is a trade name for a variety of acrylic sheet. "Lexan" is a trade name for a variety of polycarbonate sheet. Different plastic. Lexan is tougher, more crack and heat resistant, and more expensive. Plexiglas is clearer and more desirable for optical applications. Lexan is better for protective applications. Many bulletproof windows are Lexan.
