CP overlay - no plexi

Paigeoliver,

Plexi and Lexan are two entirely different materials.
If you hit Plexiglass (Acrylic) with a hammer, it will shatter.
If you hit Lexan (Polycarbonate) with a hammer, it will scratch, or possibly gouge.
I use acrylic for monitor bezels because it is clearer, and more scratch resistant.
Most of the old CP's (Williams, Midway, Atari, etc...) used textured Lexan AS the artwork, so they didn't need a separate piece to cover it.

Storm, if your top is only 3/4 thick, are you going to rool the CPO over the rounded edge? Because I don't think that is enough surface for the adhesive to hold on to. Just a Thought since I have a rounded edge on the front of my CP and have used Mamemarqees in the past.
