Just curious if anyone has any knowledge of cost difference (figure there’s always someone here who knows everything about anything).
Ordered 2K worth of Lexan, and they delivered Makrolon… wondering if I got shnookered.
TIA

Lexan's just a brand name for polycarbinate....I'm not familiar with Makrolon but there are a number of manufacturers.
Hopefully, you got what you wanted, but with just a different sticker.
I haven't seen much difference in cost from one brand to another, but that's partly because the local yards don't have much competition.

Right... what I'm "concerned" about is bait and switch. I asked for a quote for 7 1/4 Lexan panels and got Makrolon. I don't care as long as I didn't pay Price A and get Product B.
