Smoked Plexi: Is this a decent price?

Is that a decent price for a sheet of smoked plexi?  It's being used as the top for a cocktail..

I'm also curious:  Is plexiglass scratch resistant?

Well, for $6 more, you can get a sheet of tempered glass (which is scratch-resistant) from onedayglass.com ... I shall be placing an order from them myself tomorrow :)

I have a sheet of plexi that is quite old, and looks horrible; full of 'swirlies' and scratches.

That's all I needed to know!   :cheers:


But I also wanna know this:  Will glass shops cut a piece of glass that YOU bring them?  And can tempered glass be tinted/smoked??

Well, onedayglass has a few tinted options (I'm going for the light grey), plus there's no glass shops around in my podunk town :)

Only problem with getting tinted tempered glass with them is that you can only get the 1/4" glass in the SUPER dark tint.  I think that may be too dark.
