Default Sexy black stuff

Sorry chaps and chapesses, I keep giving out the Ebay link for where to buy the black perspex and because it's a 'buy now' for a specific item it keeps disappearing. The link below is for the actual Ebay store that sells it. It also lists all of the other items they sell. The item you want is under 'Colour 5mm' on left hand menu. I see they also do an acrylic mirror. I haven't tried that - might give it a go.

Link for their Ebay store for orders.
eBay UK Shop - Plastic Online: ACRYLIC TUBE, ACRYLIC ROD, ACRYLIC FURNITURE

Link for their real-world store. If you have any queries you can call them - they were very helpful when I rang them.
Retail Engineering Design Ltd - Online Plastic Shop (Powered by CubeCart)

I think black is best for reflections, but you might want to try other colours. I also bought an opaque white which I used on my home-made light box. I suggest you always go for 5mm thick as heat from lamps/sun may make the 3mm warp. It scratches easily, and you need to take care. It comes with a double-sided finish and has a peel-off protective coating. Only remove the coating when you are ready to use each side. I use one side until its scratched/marked too much then flip it over.

I would like to see what some of you could do with it.

If any of the links change, I will update them here. If you want to find this thread later just search for 'black stuff'.

Any questions about it, or it's application, please post them here.

I will probably give in and get some one day, just not yet.
I'm not as creative as you, can you learn creativity? Or am I doomed to an idea free future?

That is because you are not irreverent, as I am.

Maybe that should have been 'irrelevant' ?
