Hi there just thinking perspex would be to thick for the perpose as you will only get it as thin as 0.5mm,would be better to use clear asitate thats what i will be using, you can get it from willkinsons very cheep.

hope this helps.

Perspex would unlikley provide any advantage over acetate sheet, and its increased thicknesss may pose problems in curving to profile and when adding the beading etc.
