Yes of course. Most frag racks are made of plexiglas. The only thing I would recommend is strong and well sealed magnets, if you are planning to hang it from the side. The most difficult part is drilling plug holes on a press, on plexiglas. It tends to crack. Lexan is softer and may be more forgiving. Drilling plexiglas I have learned that applying heat to the bit and pressing slow results in smooth cut holes.
