FWIW No. 2. I know that everyone says you can get the stuff from sign makers but, in my experience, that just isn't so. The material we want for boats is a little specialist and I tried lots of suppliers, always with the same answer...."Yes, we can do it for you sir but we'll have to charge you for a full sheet" If I had wanted thinner material, either clear or an opaque colour it wouldn't have been a problem.
I'm glad someone else agrees. It is often said on here, but I have never found this obliging sign maker who has a bin load of suitable off cuts, and I've tried a few. Signmakers just don't seem to use compatible material.
I had no difficulty cutting and edge finishing my 8mm acrylic, by the way.
