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.

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.
