Customer Reviews for OPTIX 36 in. x 48 in. x 0.093 (3/32) in. Clear Acrylic Sheet

Arrived with two broken corners and an 8 inch crack. Very poorly packaged, just loose in a box with a thin piece of cardboard. For the high price Home Depot could afford a little bubble wrap!

We purchased the OPTIX 24" x 48" x 1/8" Black Acrylic Sheet because we wanted to make a plastic panel face to replace our steel framed shower panel that started to rust. Having had experience with acrylics made working with this panel an easy task. The density of the 1/8" acrylic, or material strength, is enough to hold the entire shower plumbing consisting of metal valves and plastic tubing and nozzles weighing 14 pounds (6.35Kg). Cutting the sheet to size required a 60 tooth fine cut blade at 3000 rpm on the table saw and a smooth slow feed so as to not melt the acrylic. Cutting various round holes did not require any special tooling as we used normal wood cutting hole cutters at 1200 rpm on the drill press. The feel was slow down and up quickly so as not to melt the acrylic. We recommend the OPTIX 24 in. x 48 in. x 0.118 1/8 in. Black Acrylic Sheet for any project where it can be used as it's easy to work with using woodworking tools, be glued with acrylic or epoxy adhesive (our preference) and the edges, so as to not leave then sharp, can be smoothed out with 140 grit sandpaper. Highly recommended!

Worked perfect to make windows for my shed doors and 0.93 was just the right thickness, was worried it would be too thin but size of the window and having a frame, it was fine. I did find it harder to cut by scoring then I thought it would be, it was definitely a learning experience but all and all, really pleased.

Just touching it with your fingers left scratches... wishing I had stuck with glass!

I thought this would be better than glass because it's break resistance... the chipping when you cut it on a table saw may have happened because of the blade I used.... but the scratches when I touched it with my fingers, is why I took this second piece back to home depot!

The acrylic piece was the perfect size for my slop sink. Very happy with the purchase.

Bought this to cover a Hermit Crab Cage. Good quality and was easy to cut, shape and drill. Clear as glass and worked perfect for the application I needed.

The sheets is cracked! Now have to figure out return

Perfect it was a bit flimsy however it got the job done!

Perfect size for project

Optix 48 works perfect for the project, The owners of condo’s recently installed split a/c and wanted installed into louvre window frames , works good with louvre window opened keeping cold air in and blocking out sound from the outside of building .

I needed a clear barrier to mount to the edge of the shelf that runs the perimeter of my workshop for my model trains. This worked out perfectly. I cut the sheet into 36" long by 3" strips and after drilling holes every 4 inches on one side, mounted them to the shelf that my double-track trains run on. This was needed to prevent trains from falling 7 feet to the floor in case of a derailment.

I have a dog that goes ballistic if there is a cat outside "his" window. I've been placing a baby gate across the window to prevent him from breaking the window. I found window sill protectors made of acrylic, then I cut the sheet of Optix to fit the window across the wide and to the top of the bottom half of the window. I used Velcro to attach it to the metal frame of the window. Looks fantastic and protects my window sill from scratches and the glass from breaking! Very pleased with the results.

This product was better than I expected. I needed needed a slightly different size so I had to cut them down to fit my job. The panels were easy to work with and cut nicely with a sharp utility knife.

Replaced a broken window. This acrylic is clear and strong. It does what it's intended to do. It would have got 5 starts if it had installed itself...

DIY Acrylic Sign for an event. Kinda filmsy but got the job done.

I bought this to reinforce a cracked basketball backboard. It is the same thickness and acrylic glue was used for a permanent bond. All seemed perfect until it was used and it shattered after 2 backboard shots.

Worked perfect for what I needed

Used to make a template for cutting leather. Cut with table saw.

I purchased to build an acrylic box for mold making. I am not new to using acrylic sheeting, go through quite a bit each year for past 15 years or so. This does not cut well at all. I tried the scoring method which generally works wonderfully, fail. Tried scoring both sides, again fail. Tried scoring 10 times on each side, fail.

Uniform white opaque color. Cuts very smoothly on a laser cutter and requires no further finishing. Seems pricey for a piece of acrylic sheet.

This shelf fits perfectly as a bonus middle shelf in this freezer, did not have to trim it at all. LOVE IT This fridge/freezer: https://www.homedepot.com/p/LG-Electronics-30-in-W-20-2-cu-ft-Top-Freezer-Refrigerator-in-Stainless-Steel-with-Multi-Air-Flow-and-Reversible-Door-LTCS20020S/311231763

Good product, lightweight and easy to use.

Well packaged, scratch free, ready for pick up. Cut it to size and used it as a cover for my camper's front window.

Used to make a wedding sign, it was exactly I needed and cost effective.

I made my wife a anniversary gift. Great product and easy to use once you get the hang of it. However, it is unforgiving and can be a bully. After watching YouTube videos I decided to use a saw. The material is not as firm as glass. For that you have to spend more money and get a thicker piece.

The outer glass on our French doors broke. I decided to replace it with OPTIX. The installation went perfectly. Using a plexiglass cutter, I scored the OPTIX on the garage floor with a sheet of pasteboard underneath it and a straight 1' x 6" as a guide. The OPTIX broke evenly. I do recommend an assistant to hold the guide steady. The OPTIX is as clear as glass and looks exactly like the other French door.

To: Customer Care Complaints Department Dear Sir/Madam, It is with great regret that I have to inform you of a very bad service I experienced with your store in Alhambra. I hope that once you have researched this issue, we can come to a mutual agreement about what needs to take place in order to resolve this issue. On June 14, 2021, I came to your Alhambra Store and want to return the broken acrylic sheets. Unfortunately, my request was not processed correctly as a result of cutting and gluing the acrylic sheet to build the fish tank. I felt indignity to beg for money back that I left my broken fish tank in your store. Frankly, this is unacceptable and I am disappointed that I now have to take additional time trying to resolve the problem. I am asking for your personal assistant for a quick resolution. After I started to buy the Optix Acrylic Sheet, order ID H6610-328364, to build a fish tank on your website on April 2, 2021, my nightmare has been continuing to now. On my first order, I paid $281.5. When I finished installing the fish tank, I tore off the adhesive tape on the acrylic sheet. I found a lot of cracks in the front piece. I did not choose to return the product, but I chose to buy a new one, order ID 6610 00061 43762 $73.98, on April 16, 2021, to replace it. After I finished, I found that the other piece had deep cracks which I could not repair at all. I thought it may be my fault. I decided to give up that fish tank and rebuild the new one. On Apr 22, 2021, I bought 4 more pieces of acrylic sheet, Order ID 6610-00012-06302 $207.52, and started to rebuild my fish tank again. I also bought a Sander kit, #6610-00051-04480 $79.28, on April 28 and Polisher, W864625161 $145, on May 5, 2021, for backup. But, the cracks automatically happened again in the rebuilt fish tank. On May 9, 2021, I bought another sheet, #6610-00053-09027 $73.98, to replace the crack sheet. I thought this time it would be OK, but two days later, a big crack automatically appeared on the next sheet again. On May 15, 2021, I bought another one, #6610-00060-01853 $73.98, to fix it. But when I fix that sheet, the other one will crack automatically 2 or 3 days later. I thought the fish tank may be too big to make it crack. So, I cut the size from 48 in to 40 in. And, brought the crack to the Alhambra store to return, #6610-00019-03025, and bought the new one, #6610-00053-02001, on May 18, 2021. On May 19, 2021, I found the new sheet crack inside. So, I returned it #6610-00019-03218, and brought the new one, #6610-00061-09456 to replace the crack tank again. But, on Jun 7, 2021, The automatic crack happened repeatedly on the left side of the fish tank. It really made me crazy. I decided this was the last time I repaired the fish tank. So, I cut off the left crack sheet and brought it back to return #6610-00020-08882, and bought the new one, #6610-00051-06681, again. I tried my best but I chose to surrender. On Jun 14, The big cracks happened repeatedly on the backside of the tank. I can’t stand it. So, I brought the whole tank to the Alhambra store to request a refund of the first order total of $281.5 + tax. I think it’s fair because I pay a total of $935.24 + tax. I lost a lot of money and time because the product's quality is so bad. And, I am felt indignity by your unreasonable and unfriendly Senior Staff. I really can’t stand it. I am a loyal customer who has purchased many products from your stores and online stores. In an effort to assist you, I have enclosed copies of the receipt. I would appreciate your refund or give me back the normal fish tank. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. However, please be advised that if I do not receive a satisfactory response to this request prior to 7.14, 2021, I will have no choice but to seek assistance from a Legal Advisor. I do hope that won't be necessary. Sincerely

Hard enough to place things on, soft enough to be workable.
