where do you guys get it?? i mean the type that Mogurnda uses....im using screen right now, after a flying ocellaris incident last month, but i really dont like it.
 
Any large home improvement center should have it. It's the stuff used to cover fluorescent office light fixtures.
 
I bought mine at Kent which is the same as Home Depot or Lowes in the states. It should be in the lighting department.
 
I get it at the home depot.
If not in the lighting department:
Go to the indoor lumberyard (if they have one)
and industrial type/school/office panel cielings should be near there. You will find it in that department.

BTW, If they don't know what eggcrate is, ask for starboard and the eggcrate should be in that section. (havent tried asking that, but should work.)
 
I found a jigsaw was best. It slices through really fast. Otherwise a small hand saw or coping saw, but it does take a lot longer. It is fairly brittle plastic so thrying to break it will lead to all sorts of problems.
 
okay, this is how I do It,
get a saw with a fair density of teeth per inch and saw off 2 squares.
Put safety glasses on.
take saw and whack up and down at next square.
Fastest way.
*I disclaim any injuries from this

Depends what kind I think. Is the kind you bought made of styrene? Cuz I can whack it with a saw and get clean breaks 97% of the time.
 
I used scissors to cut mine
