My first few cp's used the the thin plexi, and one of the things I did that seemed to help was put my buttons in the hole and tighten the net once the hole was drilled, before I started on the next. This helped with flexing and to avoid cracking (I was using the SF2 layout, and there wasn't much material in between, I was having cracking and shattering problems). Now I use the thicker stuff and it is strong enough on its own. |

For a few dollars more you can buy lexan instead - and it is MUCH easier to cut and drill. |

If you have a router, I would suggest the Oscar method of a template bit and and tracing the holes in your CP. |

Quick question... Can one buy Lexan at Lowes or Home Depot? What is the cost difference? --- Quote from: Mortalpawn on April 16, 2004, 01:21:38 pm ---For a few dollars more you can buy lexan instead - and it is MUCH easier to cut and drill. --- End quote --- |

I don't know how large your panel is - but I recall purchasing a 12" x 24" piece of lexan for a 2 player CP for something like $7.50. The larger pieces do get more expensive - though I can't quote you any prices off the top of my head. |
