I still say trim the holes off and make a couple monsters!!

My guess would be lexan, considering the fact that it was in a bank.

robbery + shots fired + lexan = no one hurt.

Survey says .......

Not Lexan... How so, you ask? Can it be true?

Lexan, max thickness ... 1/2 inch.. Why laminate 2 together to make it 1 inch thick since 1/2 is already "bullet proof"

Now my brain hurts ...

Polycarbonate (Lexan) comes in thicker than 1/2". The local plastic shop here has a 1.24" chunk with a bullet lodged in it. That bullet woulda gone straight through 1/2" cuz the tip is poking out the far side.

Where are you located in the state of emergency? We might be able to make a deal ;)

O and if it was me, I'd either trim the holes off or try to find a slick way to use them for an overflow or something. Trying to patch them will leave a substantial visible blemish.

Throw a dart @ the center of NY; you would be close, in a global state of mind.

Mile High in Northern AZ, baby!~
Gotta be LA or NY...the only place where bullet-proof LeXaN is abundant...
Supposedly 1.25" thick LeXaN is bullet resistant...

I say cut off the holes and Build a monster or two...

Get a NOVUS plastic polishing kit...3 grades of compounds and it wil take ALL the scratches out...not harmful to aquatica...
