Thanks for your ideas. How thick is the plastic you use and how do you cut it. I am a do-it-yourself type of person and would like to try to make some myself.
Any various plastics. You can buy it by the roll (what a pain - never lies flat) or I can get flat sheets for $1.29. Old X-ray film is popular for the make-it-your-selfers.
