As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under "Comments" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade.Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
How to Use a Measuring Tape
Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2" has a bigger mark than 1/4" which has a bigger mark than 1/8". The smallest mark follows at 1/16". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End Hook
The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
Sanitizing Acrylic and Polycarbonate Sheet [X]
Acrylic and Polycarbonate Sneeze Guards and like products require special care while cleaning and disinfecting. To maintain the optical clarity of sneeze guards and other acrylic or polycarbonate items, use an acrylic or polycarbonate safe cleaner like Novus Plastic Polish #1, Brillianize Plastic Cleaner, or a mild soap solution.
Please reference the following compatible cleaners when DISINFECTING acrylic and polycarbonate items. The use of commonly available commercial alcohol or ammonia-based disinfectants may cause crazing and damage.
Clear polycarbonate film is an exceptionally clear thermoplastic. Though thin, polycarbonate film is tough, with good impact, heat, and chemical resistance. It is a versatile lightweight plastic used for a variety of applications that range from signage and decals to RC car bodies and automotive instrument panels. Polycarbonate film is easily formed - it can be thermoformed into complex shapes due to its high heat resistance as well as molded or die-cut. Its flexibility allows it to bend without breaking.
Clear polycarbonate film is available as individual 0.010" x 24" x 48" sheets or in cases of 175 sheets. Full cases are available for purchase.
Why Use Polycarbonate Film for RC Car Bodies?
Polycarbonate is a popular material for RC car bodies due to its thermoformability, light weight, and impact resistance. Polycarbonate film's impact resistance allows an RC car body to withstand the collisions and harsh environments encountered in off-roading, and its flexibility allows the car to absorb shocks. It is transparent and paintable, allowing RC car creators and hobbyists to paint the inside of the RC car body with custom designs that will remain protected from scratches and wear. Polycarbonate's light weight gives RC cars made with polycarbonate bodies overall faster acceleration and better handling than cars with bodies made from heavier materials.
