Hmm, is there a cheaper and quicker alternative to cutting out two plexiglass CPO covers? Like maybe routing out the area around the dust covers a little deeper and cutting out a plexiglass "washer" with the same diameter as the routed out area to go between the dust cover and CPO? |

anything like that will most likely put a seam in your CPO you could try it though or you could try just leave the backing on the CPO and sandwich it under the plexi cover it's worth a try |

That's what I said in my last post. You don't want to do it at the exact same size though. You want to go bigger than the dustwasher hole, so that you can fill the edges, and give the CPO a smooth surface to adhere to, that isn't going to fall into the hole for the dustwasher. It's basically the same procedure that Oscar used, except that you don't have to recess the entire CP, just the areas around the joysticks. If you're using a vinyl CPO, any imperfection in the surface below the art will show through. |

So basically, when it's routed out, I want it to look like the below illustration on the left if it were a cutaway view, and the illustration on the right when the dust cover and plexiglass "washer" are in place, correct? Also, does Mamemarquees.com print their CPOs on adhesive backed vinyl or non-adhesive material? |
