Perspex Prism

Post by rp »

Does anybody know where I can get a big perspex prism to show lasers through.
30cm wide by about 20cm deep.
A student borrowed mine for Art,filled it full of water and then dropped it.
Needless to say it broke!

Thanks but it is beyond fixing. I wonder what everybody else uses?
