Good D'day

Thanks, Raghubir

it should be ok Raghubir, Makrolon is an excellent product .i use Makrolon uv and have no complaints .Some polycarbs have little or no uv stabiliser this means eventually sunlight makes them brittle and slightly brown or yellow in color.The gp does have uv stabiliser and comes with a 5 year guarantee.time will tell mateThumbs Up
that's no how ye make porridge!

Hi

Dave, Chris and Dean thanks for the feedback , infact I was worrried if I have order wrong material. Lexon was quiet expensive and I thought of finding alternative.

Thanks again.

Regards, Raghubir
