biggest problem with DIY is that you cant really trust the qualtiy of the cast... i know that i wouldnt trust my handywork in a 1atm sub at any depth. but that be said i have little to know pratical practice with acrylics..

Does anybody know what would be involved with actually casting acrylic on your own? What is the proceedure ? and can the chemicals be purchased? I guess I should refer to my acrylic handbook !

Brent, I think that would be for a blown dome. For a cast dome I forget the number but it was WAY more than that I'm afraid.

Hi Alan,
The numbers I keep hearing are around $1000 to $1200 US funds.

Hi people,
Can anyone give me an indication of what a cast acrylic dome costs.
Something round the size of a K250 dome, 24" x 1" thick.
Or any dome that you know the dimentions of.
Thanks Alan
