Is the HDPE plastic would be better for sliding on rails or the lexan, which one is less expensive? and where can I get these plastic in Canada without ordering it online?

HDPE is better then lexan. Thats what i use and it works perfectly. It is expensive but im not sure how much lexan is. There is some store around me that sells it im sure you could find a store around you that has it.

go with HDPE, lexan is not going to be worth the shitload of money you'd pay for it unless its for a resort or something.
