Hi. I'm about ready to order my CP overlay and was wondering wheter its best to cover a CP with plexi or not ? I've heard lexan is best but I can't seem to get it here in Ireland. Plexi would be difficult enough to cut but would protect the artwork. I also like the look of plexi...its shiny :) Anyone not recommend I cover CP overlay with plexi ? Cheers, Brian. |

I don't know the diff between plexi & lexan, but would definately recommend covering your CP with something. I finished my cab back in Oct. '04, didn't cover the CP with anything, and now it's all messed up. I plan to get a fresh copy of my CPO from Scott @MameMarquees & re-do my CP, but this time with plexi!!!! I definately recommend covering your CP with something. |

I am real fond of plexi as it feels so nice and smooth. |

Well I was going to buy a CP overlay from mamemarquees. I was wondering if I would need plexi over that ? It says on their website that their CP overlays are very strong ? |

GROOVY! Thanks Craig, that tutorial will come in handy once I'm ready for that part. The only thing I don't like is how you put screws thru your plexi - there's gotta be a better way? Brian - yes, the surface of the CPO from MameMarquees is very tough. No problems there! The problem I have is the edges - even thou I finished my CP edges with T-molding (click on my web page if you wanna see it! 8)), people playing the cab still managed to find weak spots around the edges. At first, just a little 'peel-back' her and there. After several months, major 'peel-back'. Putting a plexi cover on top will solve this. |
