Needed: similar material to plexi

Pages: << < (3/3)

DrewKaree:

dunno if you've found your material for this purpose yet, but after you posted about what you wanted it for, I immediately thought of adhesive-backed vinyl floor tile.  You would either stick it to the plexi, OR buy black tile and fasten it in some fashion to the plexi.  Ya folla?

Like I said, dunno if this is too late.

JustMichael:

Crashwg,  sorry for the dumb question but why not just cut the pattern out in aluminium foil and then glue the foil to the plastic?  You can probably find some in the kitchen right now to try...

crashwg:

Funny enough, I think alluminum foil will be the best solution, and a pretty cheap one too.  I like cheap ;D  Thanks everyone for the great suggestions though.

soslo:

I use smoked (actually called amber) plexi and love the way it looks.
Here are some pictures:

These pictures actually make the plexi look more see through than it is (when the monitor is off) because of the angle and way the camera picks up light. In person, you can barely see through it, but as you can see in the screenshot - the image is quite brilliant.
