[Shop-talk] Source of special plexiglass

[Pat Horne]

 Check into polycarbonate. It's tough stuff. McMaster-Carr has it. Don't know how thick you need. 

Peace,

I have a soda machine that I'm about to put back in service after restoring it.  It will be out in the general public. 

The last piece I need is a small (about 1" high by 5" wide) piece of plexiglass that is 'vandal proof' (or whatever term they use.) 

This will cover the LED readout, so it needs to be semi-clear.  If you look at any modern vending machine, they all have them.  Most a tinted 'blueish' 

Then I need to glue it to the plastic frame (this is how the original one was done. 

Two questions... 

Where can plexiglass, and what type of glue (and source) do I use? 

TIA
