While talking with a representative at K&S Engineering I was given a name of a Company that sells retail.They are also in Chicago.

The person I placed my order with was Phil. I am strickly speaking as an objective consumer.

The Company is called Special Shapes.

You guys might already know this Company.

They appear to be one in the same for all practical purposes: http://www.ksmetals.com/ContactUs.html

I got some K&S clear plastic sheet a few years ago. It's PETg, or something like that. It's clearer, glossier and more scratch resistant than ordinary acetate or clear styrene - side by side, you can really tell the difference. Aircraft modelers use PETg for thermo-forming canopies.
