New lid for vacuum chamber?

[TattooedTurner]

Does anybody know where I can get a new piece of lexan for my vacuum chamber lid? I could probably do a search but I'm feeling lazy and it's easier to ask, my apologies. I did a google search but could only find complete lids, I don't need to replace the seal or gauge. Dyed Cactus Juice splashed all over the inside and in this desert heat it hardened. Besides not being able to see through it, I don't want to trust the integrity of it now but need to stabilize a burl for a project.

Jay, you should be able to buy a piece at any glass dealer, or windshield replacement store.

Not Lexan, but maybe an option if you're making your own:

1/2" acrylic sheet

I made one for my chamber a year and half ago from this and have had no issues.

Lowe's carries acrylic- I believe that is the material.

Have you tried TAP Plastics..? I don't know if they have lean.. but, I believe I saw bullet proof acrylic.. may be same/similar for strength. I've build underwater camera housings out of thicker acrylic and they withstood some pretty good pressures.
