Any One Doing Acrylic Work???

Hey Salty Folks,
If any one is doing there own acrylic work and edge scraping is a pain in the buttocks-if you have a jointer planer it works awsome.Make sure the blade hight is set right and you get a babys' butt smooth edge.I'm goin to try to start making sumps and skimmers for profit and I'm tweakin the methods.

Ouch! PVC has for the most part gone up too since a year ago, atleast thats what im seeing.

260, that sure does make it hard to justify that diy project. When I first got started it was 110$ for 3/8 and 145 for 1/2.
