You just need some polarising filters off a camera or polarising film
Only small sizes needed 1" diameter will be fine
If buying camera filters try and get linear ones rather than circular ones

If you need some film let me know and i'll send you some

Is that price right?
looks a lot of money at $275
looks poorly finished in the pictures and videos for that sum

I ought to add I'm a owner of an engineering company so I can imagine how long it takes to knock those out
