Recommended thickness for tempered glass?

TelcoLou:

I'm about to order a sheet of tempered tinted glass for my bezel overlay. I'm replacing the plexi that was originally on the cab, but am a little confused ..

The plexi is 1/8" thick, but I've read here that folks have used 1/4" thick tempered glass for their overlay .. is this the recommended thickness? If so, I'd have to carve out a bit of the top channel where the current plexi fits perfectly in ;)

Mine is 1/8" tempered glass and it is fine. IMO 1/4" is overkill and will be very heavy.

But 1/4" is proper for cocktail glass tops, right?

Yep.
