Cool...that's the second thing I learned today :)

The guy we get it from, when I asked for Plexiglas gave us sheets (2'X8') of 
something labled Lexan, so I thought they were the same :)

Took me 3 months to learn that Delrin and Nylon were two different things 
too, polumers aren't my thing.....lol


btw: the First was just how far you can lean to one side when you're sitting 
on a 10'6"dia tank (mounted horizontal) without falling off.

About 3 to 4', depending on the abount of crud on the surface. Crud kills 
friction, I LIKE friction :)
