Plexiglas is acrylic. It's just one of many brand names for an acrylic sheet product. The reason the stuff at home centers is undersized and with plastic rather than paper masked, is because they get the cheapest available product. I prefer polycarbonate (Lexan,Hyzoid are common brands) which can be worked like wood with common woodworking tools. Acrylic I treat more like mdf, if you drill it eventually it will crack out from the hole. Luckily for me, I work at a glass shop near lots of gravel plants. At least once a week I cut and install scratch resistant polycarbonate windshields in their equipment. So I have tons of cut offs and scraps.
