So I picked up the pictured piece of lexan and am looking for some ideas as to what I can do with it. It does need a good cleaning. It has some stickers on it, and holes drilled along the entire edge. Its 3/8" thick, about 1.5 ft wide by 4 ft long. Only thought I had was some frag racks... maybe. What should I cut it with? What solvent weld?
Thanks for any ideas you might have.

Three more pieces...2 similar in size to the last one, one about half. All 1/4" this time. Any ideas?

You could get really fancy and build an acclimation box or fish trap. I don't know a whole lot about Lexan though.....is that the stuff they sell at Home Depot? If so, I picked up some to use as a top for a QT and it warped badly.
 
Its polycarbonate instead of acrylic. More impact resistant.
