I would like to know more about Acrylite. I looked it up and see that it is easier and cheaper to cut than glass and can be purchased with uv protection. It also weighs less than glass. i wonder if it is as archive safe as glass even though the objects may not be touching the surface directly. Do you get this locally? Does the supplier cut it for you? Which type do you get? Thanks
