Hey, the hobby lobby and michaels by my house don't have any of the plastic, is there anywhere online you recommend getting it from or would you be able to send me some?

Here's where mine came from:

ORACAL USA : Products : ORACAL* 8300* Transparent Calendered Film

edit. Bought mine on ebay from a guy called paperstreetplastics. $7 for three pretty big sheets.

Good job !.... This is the way things can be done on a budget, why bother spending $100-150 on led when it costs about $5-$10 for this.... As well as a little time....good job again.....
