I always use a layer of Lexan or Clear PVC type material over the top. Even though you don't have to do it, it does protect the artwork and the finish. If you spent money on this CP overlay, why wear it out when you can replace the lexan in a few years time.

Wouldn't it be just about impossible to wear the overlay out?  I mean if it comes from mamemarquees that is.  Scott's stuff is bulletproof.  Superman gets his suits made there.

somunny:

Thanks for the opinions, guys.  I was originally going to use the Lexan.  When I received the overlay, I was so impressed by the quality and texture I started thinking that it would be nice to have it exposed.  Once again, I appreciate the comments.  The jury is out for now.

Disclaimer: mccoy178 in no way condones the use of an overlay purchased from mamemarquees as a bullet proof vest.  mccoy178 does think that it would be good to hide under during inclement weather such as hurricanes or tornados.

Can someone comment on how thick/rigid the material mamemarquees uses is?  I am a little unhappy with the recessing job I did for my trackball mounting plate, and the vinyl CP overlay I have now really shows the imperfections.  It has also slightly wrinkled in spots.  If it were a little bit more rigid I think it would be perfect.

If it's not even, the overlay will show it.  Mine isn't even, I have a mamemarquees overlay, it does a good job of hiding the imperfections, and the only one that really says anything about it is me.  Others could care less, they just want to play.
