Source for template plexiglass
Where do people buy plexiglass with paper on both sides for making templates for their Vega duplicators. I jusy picked up a used 36" Pro model and plan to use it for table legs and plugs

Thanks Larry- my local Friends lumber did not have the brand with the paper backing... only plastic which can be difficult to draw on

I got some from a local glass place, it's not cheap, but depending on the size it shouldn't be too crazy.

If you go to a glass place ask to look through the scraps. lots of times most of the scraps are almost perfect size for what you need.

Don't worry about paper on it just cover with masking tape to mark on.

I used to print out shapes on paper and then just lay the plexi over the paper and trace a line with a sharpie... Then cut. Simple.
