<p style="padding:0"> </p>
<p style="padding:0">Do you find the perspex becomes brittle after having CRC on it? Depending on what type of acrylic / perspex it is you can get some weird issues when it comes into contact with solvents and oils. Had thought that CRC was one that caused issues, but I might be wayyyy off the mark. I do know that isopropyl causes moulded acrylic to 'craze' quite quickly, but not the cast stuff.</p>

<p style="padding:0">As an aside I get acrylic, PVC and lexan sheet from Mulford Plastics in the city, they have all sorts of good stuff in their off cut bins for not too much money if you're looking for robot chassis bits. (or in my case sign lettering, insert kick-me sign here. --> <-- )</p>
