Glass vs acrylic
<< < (2/4) > >>
brandon:
Not trying to hijack this thread but I'm in the exact same boat... except I can't find any tinted plexi that's wider than 24" and I need a piece 26.75" x 28.. I can cut it myself no problem but I cant find a piece big enough.  Lowe's doesn't have it, Tap Plastics doesnt, and the local glass company never emailed me back either... *ugh*

circumstance you should NEVER use perspex- cocktail cabs!
AmericanDemon:
Glass all the way.  Easier to clean and more resilient.  After too much abuse the acrylic can fog up.  Oh wait.....  we're talking about for arcade use huh?  Uhm the same answer ;)

There's also hardened glass. You must be a real monster if you want to break that, and when it breaks, no-one gets hurt. It cannot be cut however so it must be grinded in shape, the main reason why it is little more expensive (around 40 bucks for 700x700x6mm)

Why do you want round glass? Think different and put the rotating stuff behind a square piece,
