The home depot around here quit carrying lexan long ago...all we get is Optix brand stuff that's not worth the time. Lowes carries the same. I'll have to see what the lowes and home depot up in seattle carry next time I'm up there.
Or you go with no tempered glass at all look at these results by hertzblaster he's using a 250 watt bulb though and his first fresnel is a little warped but just look at the bright clear images among the best of the diy projectors

Some questions about glass😀
Does anyone know of a place on the web that can custom make a small piece of tempered glass for one part?
What type of heat can regular glass, Annealed glass and tempered glass be expected to take without cracking?
Can or will regular glass warp under the heat of a high wattage halogen?

Anyway, after a few days of searching I found some answers for a couple of the questions I asked.
This information might be of use for others so I am posting it.
I couldn't find anybody or site to come up with a temp rating for regular pane type glass.
Tempered Glass is heat resistant to 400-500 degrees F .
Neocreram it can take temps to 1292 degrees F and resistant to temp shock, I was told it has an amber tint to it though.
If something had to be real hot light the shell of a bulb Vycor has superior optical qualities and take temps to 2100 degrees F!
Annealed glass seems to be used mostly to prevent art work from cracking.

In my application I am placing a shield about 4" from a EYB 360 watt bulb and choose to go with a tempered piece of glass.
I ordered a custom size of 3/16" tempered from a place called One Day Glass the ordering process was up front and simple to order even my single piece I required. I placed a basic order list online then called the next day to find out shipping cost and give payment info and confirmation. 😉
