Textured CP Plexi ???

[IG-88]

I noticed today while looking at a Sliver Strike Bowling by I.T. that the plexi they had on the CP had a very slight "texture" to it that gave it a cool look and feel. Have any of you seen this stuff before? What is it?

It also looked like whoever built it used a router to ease the edges and even counter sunk the screws holding the stuff down to the CP. It made for a really nice look.

um, mamemarguees puts a nice texture on their control panel overlays.  it's some sort of plexiglass sort of covering, i'm told.  makes the cp hold up better to abuse.

Well, from my limited experience, Plexiglas is clear like glass. So is that Lexicon stuff. This material I'm talking about has a very slight texture to it. You can see thru it fine but you can defiantly tell it's not your normal clear plexi.

Also, countersinking screws holes or routing edges of plexi is tuff to do without melting or cracking. Which leads me to wonder what that stuff was...

WELL HEY!! Thanks alot peoples! That helps.

Many of the newer arcade machines have a plexi cover over the CPO

in a few months/years you can replace the plexi if you need to
and the CPO still looks as good as new

Ya, I just never knew that someone made textured plexi.

Are you talking about "texture" or are you talking about "clarity/transparency"?

Texture describes something you can physically feel.

I'm talking you can physically feel it. I can't really think of anything comparable to it right off hand.
