[tfelog]

I'd like to start making my own edm bodies. Anybody know where to get lexan in sheets bigger than 8x11. I've found a site selling 4'x8' sheets. Looking for something in between.

Go to mcmaster.com and go to the raw materials section of the site and select plastics. The next page select "film" and from there polycarbonate. They will have everything you need.

if you do that just make durn sure its *lexan* brand, the others suck

Check you local yellow pages under plsatics. Thats what I did and I found some. Two foot by four foot was $15.00.

Mcmaster Carr doesn't sell Lexan brand Polycarbonite but as long as you get clear/clear you will be just fine.

the stuff from mcmaster carr is fine, as is the ge stuff, the only lexan i've got that was really weak was some stuff from a local plastics company that came w/ a blue tinted clear film on it.

How do you bend the sheet to form your bodies??

harbor freight carries a really nice 2ft sheet metal brake, that would work very well...
