I'm looking for 3 pieces, 2 of them 9"long x 10"tall, and 1 24"long x 10"tall.  Anyone know where I can get them, and which silicone to use for a paludarium water/earth divider?  Thanks.

I was under the impression that Home Depot carried it although I can't remember if I really saw it there.  However the last pice i bought came from M&T Glass.  Here is a link to their web site.

Look up Canus Plastics on Lisgar.  They sell it, although I'm not sure the prices.

I've bought my plexi from HD in the past... but Canus is THE place for all things plastic.

I got mine at reno depot here in hull (or is it rona? lol) right by the casino

Yep, Home Depot carries it, different thicknesses and they usually have smaller cut pieces. :)

home depot does carry it but if you want a better price goto a glass store

Thanks a lot for all the replies.

There is an HD nearby, so I can check it out maybe tomorrow.  Anyone know which silicone to use?

there is a Home depot on Innes (just off the 417)not to far from BA and you can get the silicone you need at BA i think

Anthing that says fish or aquarium safe.  BA his some but it is likely cheaper at Canadian Tire or Home Depot.  Also the one BA has is black not clear if that makes a difference to you.

"GE Silicone I in the Blue Tube" - Standard answer to the silicone question.

Keep in mind you can't use silicone on plexiglas; it won't work.  You need plastic cement, usually Weld-On brand.  Canus will have it and will be able to tell you which one to use; HD probably has it as well.

 Hi there.... if you go to home depot they sell it there by the sheet and you can get it cut to size right there....or Canus Plastics on Lisgar Ave.....good luck which ever place you choose to go...

beowulf

I got some at Rona on Innis and he cut it for a buck.

Adam

I checked it out at HD, but I'm not too impressed with their meagre selection...

I'm going to go to Canus.  I have some connections there, and I would like them to assemble it for me.  I'll post later when I get it back.
