I'm making baffles but I don't want to wait to have them custom made. I'll cut them myself but I'm not aware of a store that stocks glass panels.

Does anyone know if someone sells standard size 1/4" glass panels and stocks them?

You can go to a glass store and have them cut for you. Bow Valley Aquariums is also in town and they cut glass as well.

I've had glass cut before but they take weeks to get it done. I'm just looking for 'bulk' glass so I can cut it myself.

Glass Guild maybe? Although last time I suggested that place people said that their prices weren't very good. I don't know, it's worth a call to ask what it'd cost then you can decide if there's a better deal out there or not..

I've gone to Crystal Glass and they had the panels cut for me within a couple days. It all depends if the glass thickness that you want is in stock.

Try Carr's Glass, they had mine done for me in less than a day.

Call bow Valley and they will cut them while you wait.
Ask for Mitch and tell him Rahim sent you.

Thanks guys, I saw your responses after I got home from Chinook...I wasn't expecting to return with any glass but I went to chinook glass and they had a sheet there that was big enough to cut all my baffles out of. $45 for the sheet, $3 for the cutter and I cut them all myself. They'll cut a square while you wait and you don't have to wait 2 weeks for them to make your custom cuts.
