Re: what's the difference between pealex and acrylic
Pearlex seems to just be a generic name for fake pearl, no matter what it's made from.

Re: what's the difference between pearlex and acrylic
Which is the "toughest" of the plastic world?
ABS
Acrylic
G 10
Polycarbonate (I think this would be a tough material)
Kydex
Nylon
(I had to look these up )
Linen Phenolic
Canvas Phenolic
These are basically Micarta correct?

Nuclear bicarbonate will cause just about anything to warp!!!!!
Re: what's the difference between pearlex and acrylic
Not very likely to warp unless you subject it to extreme weather conditions!

Re: what's the difference between pearlex and acrylic
Tom..it will only warp at warp factor 5 unless soaked in nuclear bicarbonate of soda for 10 hrs. There is no such thing as nuclear bicarbonate of soda (unless you were using some at area 51 during a nuke test and kept a little)! lol...guess I should not joke here huh? Somebody might go looking for some and get busted by Homeland security.
Re: what's the difference between pearlex and acrylic
Well, if you kept it, you would probably get the effects of the radiation from it.
