Alternative to Perspex?
<< < (2/2)
Retro_SA:
Thanks for all the advice.   I was under the impression that perspex is very expensive, but found out today that it's actually quite cheap.  Bought pieces for the control panel, screen and marquee.  :)

It's designed to protect floor graphics (like the kind you see at large exhibitions or supermarkets) and it's practically scratch-proof. The great thing about it is that it can be used to cover graphics or custom paintwork and it it waterproof (or beer proof) so it lasts for ages.

Personally I use laminated CPO (no plexi), and (toughened, tinted) glass for the monitor/marquee.
