    where to buy plastic

    so far I been going to online metals. I have a CNC router and looking to make a lighted logo (with LED backing) out of acrylic. Is this the most economical type of plastic to do it in?

    I'm not sure of the price difference but alot, if not most, back lit stuff is corian.
    I've used ( so far...limited budget) cutting board plastic for practice on a litho.

    Still quite new but getting better...Chris
