Hi everyone, I'm building a CP in the U.S. and I have to purchase the wood, molding, and LEXAN. Since I have a choice, which size should I get of each? On arcadeemulator.net they sell different size t-molding for 5/8" wood or 3/4" does that mean it will fit 3/4" wood or wood + lexan = 3/4"? I plan to use mdf |

no lexan is extra thickness. 5/8" is a little thin for my liking. 3/4 is better. i just bevel the edge of the plastic i'm using for the overlay. helps soften the edge. buy 3/4" wood and 3/4" t-moulding. |

Do not use polycarbonate (Lexan) to cover your control panel, use Acrylic (Plexiglass etc). I think I need to change my sig^^ :) |

yeah, lexan although nearly indestructible, scratches like hell. plexi is a little tougher (in that respect) |

Doesn't the t-moulding cover the plexi? |
