| Adding plexi to already made CP. |
| (1/2) > >> |

Hello, I have a cabinet that has been done for a few years now, and I am looking to enhance it. I really want to add artwork and plexiglass to the CP. Currently it is 3/4 MDF which is laminated. I have T-Molding around the edges of the panel. My quesion is, if I were to add artwork on top of this, and then a layer of plexiglass, 1. Would this "feel" right with the edge being just above the T molding (it "seems" to be level now) and 2. How do you drill the holes in the plexiglass? Thanks in advance! ED7 |

I did the same thing just recently. And I used lexan too - well that's what the shop made for me. Let's just say my CP is heavy now! I made a digital template of my CP (the old fashioned way - I measured it then drew it on my PC!) then I had to get that printed several times until it matched up correctly. Then I could use that to get the lexan and the CP artwork done. And I don't think it looks bad at all! I've noticed several games in my local arcade that have the lexan/plexi whatever above of the t-molding. Just smooth down the edges and I don't think people will complain. stevodevo |

You could just replace that t-molding with some 7/8" to make up the difference. |

Didn't know they made such a thing. That would be probably the best idea for me. Now to find someone to lay the graphics out for me! (i am graphically challenged!) |
