    There is no way the plastic he uses is 3/8" thick. It has to be 1/4", MAYBE 5/16".

    As far as places to get it:

    McMaster-Carr is the complete source for your plant with over 595,000 products. 98% of products ordered ship from stock and deliver same or next day.

    Try Mcmaster Carr for the plastic sheets. They have a lot of materials like this.

    We would do 2 strips and maybe more for IS/ES valances if we have more. Where can I get some ABS plastic? Home Depot or a store like that?

    usually you have to buy a huge sheet. it could get expensive if you only wanted one strip.

    For a splitter though, I would trace it and then move it up and trace it again so it is hanging out alittle more than the front of the valance right?

    They're about the same, the late model valence with iS lip is a bit lower.
