Clear stryene?
Does evergreen make clear stryene? I don't recall seeing any at my LHS. I need some for my back window of my custom 510 Wagon I'm building. Pictures will be coming soon, as soon as I can resize them.

Yes, Evergreen does make clear "styrene", but I think it is actually acetate... Nothing wrong with that, but acetate cracks easily. You might try Squadron Signal Clear Thermoform. It's a clear plastic used by airplane modelers to duplicate canopies. It is available in some hobby-shops, and at www.squadron.com.

Hmm.. about Evergreens clear styrene.. is it TRANSPARENT? Like glass? Or is it foggy (white) I remember I picked up a pack and put it back down because I tried looking through it and couldn't see through it..

Re: Clear stryene?
well it's not 100% clear, there is some white dot in it, but it's better than nothing.. if you need to replace a window, it's the best and cheapest way to do it (about 1$ by sheets)

Is the clear styrene any good for bodykits and such? I have a few clear sheets, but I'm not sure how well they'll work for the basis of basic body mods, ie, wide body, lipspoiler etc.
Thanks BTW, sorry for stealing this thread.
