hey is it safe to use plexi glass for a frag rack my dads work has tons so like i could get them to make that or is trhere something in it
 
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.
 
I was just gonna make a hang over bar for the rack thanks for info though can just get it bent
