Help!! lexan bills cracking

Recommended Posts

If it says Polycarbonite it is not Lexan, it is Lucite.

I think Coley typed it wrong, Lexan is GE's trademark name for polycarbonate.

I think Lucite is a trademark name for acrylic sheet.

If your using Lucite, that may be your problem, Acrylic sheet is pretty brittle. If it is avoid using it for diving lips & be glad you found out before hooking a nice fish with it.

If you have a good amount, put it to good use for a display case window, or cut out some lure display stands with it. no need to waste it. :wink:

Red has it right. When I first started I used acrylic because I could not find polycarbonate. The other bad thing about acrylic is that it becomes very brittle once it gets cold. I used baits with acrylic lips for a summer and did just fine. Once the fall got here and I started throwing the same baits, then the lips started cracking. What you need is .060 Lexan or polycarbonate. It is about 1/16 inch thick.
