Okay guys and Gals
I'm going to plead a little ignorance here.
Please explain the difference between cast and extruded acrylic.
The acrylics as shown in the journals and books what are they?

Extruded is a continuous sheet from an extrustion machine and cut to size, cast is poured and formed in a mold under high pressure. This is a simplified explaination but you get the idea.

Cast acrylic, is what's typically used in the production of the acrylic awards you've seen in the trade magazines etc.

Here are some past discussions detailing the attributes of each type of acrylic:
