Cylinder material CAGE MATCH! Acrylic vs. polycarbonate
Both materials are clear and sufficiently rigid to make usable cylinders.
I would use acrylic over polycarbonate because…
Acrylic is extremely bio-compatible (it’s used for contact lenses and some bone repairs).
Polycarbonate can leach bisphenol A, a synthetic estrogen (although the amount and significance of this is open to debate).
Acrylic is a lot easier to cut. Polycarbonate is tough to work with.
What are the advantages to polycarbonate? (Besides your cylinder being able to stop small caliber arms fire)
Which did you use to make your cylinder, and why?
