Heads up on acrylic shortages

Seems 1/4 is pretty popular for these. Ask for 3/16 or 5/16 and 4x10 vs 4x8. You may get lucky.

 

We've also been selling some clear polycarbonate for this as well.

 

Yup as far as I can tell there is no 1/8" 1/4" or 3/16" clear acrylic in all of Ontario, and most of the stuff on order from our suppliers is spoken for already.

 

October 2019 Note to self: divest all gold securities and invest entire portfolio in acrylic / polycarb and PPE.

 

My main supplier, just told me today, it's about 16 weeks out..... and it's only gonna get worse.

 

I am able to convert tp to plexi. My signs look like sh!t though.

 

That's cause you're trying to save $$ by recycling used TP. Real craftsmen only use new, cast TP with matching laminate.

 

Is that the new 2080 material from 3M that is replacing the 1080 wrap film?

 

Hahaha. Yeah the 2 at the beginning is for 2-ply.

 

I heard this was happening when everything started. Even our supplier said the manufacturer stopped answering phones for about a week because they couldn't even keep up with answering them, let alone fulfilling orders. Crazy times.

I wonder how stocked up Gemini and large resellers are....

 

It's not just acrylic, all kinds of stuff are being overrun right now. Wire H Stakes and Coro are backlogged a bit too, not like acrylic, but it's crazy.
