I have used the Happs type vinyl its a little bit of a slow process to put on cause you have to keep rubbing it and moving bubbles to prevent problems.. but once it is on it looks great. |

ususally you would use shielding tape, typically a copper foil. but if the cab is made of a giant magnet or has parts of it that are magnetic it would screw with the monitor. --- Quote from: Shape D. on December 10, 2004, 02:21:44 pm ---Magnets + Monitor = BAD --- End quote --- |

Brocken I have done this, and I really like the padded feeling it gives under your hands. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,12306.0.html |

In the strictest sense, magnetic shielding is not truly shielding at all. Unlike the way a lead shield stops X-rays, magnetic shielding materials create an area of lower magnetic field in their vicinity by attracting the magnetic field lines to themselves. ==== And goes on to say that using materials like copper would be no better at shielding EMF than than if you used air. |
