Or did you cut it yourself? and I guess you can get teh vinyl form Andrew Melrose (snake signs) in Sydney. We also have a member here who sells plastics. His name is Andrej I think or something like that.

Wow. anyone wanna buy a newly constructed HMR Chondro cage? I wanna build a plastic one now.
Hey rastass, there's nothing wrong with yours! I just wanted to help with the moisture problem!
We used 42mm Stainless steel screws with a flat head so the screws can be recessed slightly into the plastic and covered with no more gaps. We also used silicon to make the cage completely waterproof. We had ours cut with a very sharp industrial saw and it was very accurate. All we had to do was laminate and screw together!

We also designed ours so that they could be stacked on top of each other and the cords are hidden in a slight recess between the cages, making it look much neater.

Cheers,

Craig

Andrew should be able to get the Vinyl cheap for you! We got ours from a vinyl sign writing supply company on the Sunshine Coast.
