I don't know about "blocks" but I know Home-Deopt sells acrylic sheets up to 3/4" The stuff I usually buy is called Lucite. Stays clear, and its nice and strong, but be careful when drilling it with larger bits, it has a tendency to crack then.

try www.mcmastercarr.com their an industrial supply company... good stuff

and if you get the thinner stuff for some reason cut it on a band saw.

dont use the knife they will tell you to buy.

it does not work and you will break it trying.

also it will crack if you arent careful
