I've got a skylight/dead light --(a piece of plexiglass on the cabin top). The current gasket is leaking. Does anyone have recommendations and/or a source for material 1/8 to 3/16 thick that I can buy and cut to shape?

Midland Plastics in New Berlin has been a good source for plex, lexan and acrylic in the past.
They will cut it for you or send you home with the tools/info to do it yourself.
They really are wholesalers but they have a friendly city sales dept and last time I was there they had a very cool remnant room.

If you're looking for gasket material you might want to look at Grainger. They sell neoprene for central air conditioning installs. I believe it comes in sheets big enough to cut a gasket out of.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I need the gasket material to bolt between the plexglass and the deck.

I've heard that butyl rubber gasket material is available at places that service campers and mobile homes. It's what is used in their window installations. I'd give one of them a call.
Other than that, I have a roll of rubber conveyor belt material about 3'x 20' and 1/4" thick. It cuts nice with a sharp scissors or utility knife. I got it from a friend when Waukesha Rubber went under. Kept it because it's just too good to get rid of. Figured I'd find a use someday.
If anyone has a use, I can cut off a hunk for you.
