Unhappy What to use as a divider???

Ive considered plexiglass, metal and lino, but plexiglass isnt flexible enough, metal too hard to cut, and lino not waterproof enough??? what should i use??

1/8" thick acrylic. I suggest checking the off cuts bin at a glass merchant for cheaper stuff, but places like Home Depot sell it in big sheets.

the sheets home depot sell arent too big, they range from about a square foot to 4' by 2'
though im not sure on all the thicknesses, but i think pretty much any thickness would work for you.
Also, u can cut with a skill saw (electric hand saw) but make sure to wear eye protectiong because it spitss up a looooot of excess

If you need to bend plexiglass you just have to heat it. HOW TO: Bend Acrylic - YouTube
As for cutting Plexiglass no saw is needed, just a sharp knife. HOW TO: Hand Cut Acrylic - YouTube
I hope this helps, and good luck!
