Anyone know a good place to get cheap plano demo lens blanks from?

From a frame you just sold would be my number one choice and the cheapest place.

Ohtherwise all I can think of is a plano CR39 lens which would cost you about a dollar a pair.

Are you talking about demos for your board frames? If so, call the company. Most will have cut demos for all their frames.

Mostly for these reasons:

To use if we lose demos and put a frame back on the board
Random other reasons

Thanks!

State optical/Premium Dynamic in Florida sells acryllic blanks for use as demos. They are pretty cheap. They come in rolls of 50. They also sell plano CR-39 the same way. Not very much more expensive, and the CR cut easier and don't stink like acrylic.

I like the old demo idea. I may start keep those 58 Aviator demo lenses. I don't like to order them from the company. Not worth paying for the shipping, if you have an edger. Which snowmonster does.
