Smoked or Clear?
RayB:
tempered vs not:
If it shatters, do you prefer thousands of little cubes of glass in your machine, or do you prefer pointy shards?
mrjah:
I'm staying away from glass of any kind due to the arrival of our little daughter. I don't want to run the risk of shards of any kind, dull or otherwise, in the carpet. Glass of any kind is bad for little tummies.
Right now I'm running with a clear piece of plexi over the monitor/bezel, but I'd like to go to tinted without wasting the clear plexi. Has anyone had any luck using aftermarket auto glass tint film on a clear piece of plexiglas or Lexan? Does it even stick to those materials? Is the result as clear as gray tinted/smoked plexi, or does it show speckling/distortion due to the film application?
Of course, I could just get gray tinted material by mail order and double it up with the clear as a protective layer on top. But let's start with what I've got now...
