Smoked plexiglass over my Happ's bezel? (or any other suggestions?)
<< < (3/4) > >>
ThePaul:
So you used Lexan for in front of your monitor? Were you able to find smoked lexan? What thickness? Where did you find it?
clanggedin:
I found the lexan at a local window/glass shop. They didn't have plexi, just Leaxn. I would have cut it myself, but the retard I talked to a Home Depot said they didn't carry plexi any more (which is not true).

I bought 1/8" Lexan, I didn't even think of asking if they had smoked Lexan. I was already paying way too much for the Lexan, so I didn't want to make it anymore expensive.

ThePaul:
Doesn't the 1/8 Lexan bow and flex when used in front of a monitor? I'd prefer Lexan over plexi if I could get it thicker and smoked.

I think I paid $45-$50 for smoked, tempered GLASS from a local glass shop.  (and it was 25x27ish)

BEST investment I made..  You can always tell when you look at plexi that it's NOT glass..  (or I can at least)...  I absolutely love the glass.


Tempered glass is pretty strong.. I think you'd have to give it a REALLY GOOD whack with a REALLY HARD object to break it.  Casual use (even slamming into it off a trackball spin) I don't *think* would break it.

I replaced a window on my house that had tempered glass.  I needed to break the glass to fit in my trash bin.  I covered it in a plastic bag and gave it a good whack with a mini sledge hammer...nothing.  Gave it several more whacks...nothing.  Finally broke it when I stepped back a few feet and literally hurled the sledge hammer into it.  Broke into a million pieces.
