Title: How thick are marquees from mamemarquees? 1/16"? 1/32"?
Post by: javeryh on January 30, 2006, 11:17:31 am

I'm just curious... I have a cocktail table top with a rabbet that accepts the monitor bezel and then a smoked piece of glass on top of that.  These two together are just a hair (probably 1/32") above the level of the table and are supposed to sit flush so a large piece of clear, tempered glass can cover the entier thing.  I am eventually ordering artwork from mamemarquees that will cover the entire surface of the table and I am wondering if the thickness of the artwork will do the trick.

Thanks!

The one I have is really thin...less than that.  Too thin to measure even...

I dont think that the difference between 1/32 and 1/16 (which is .3125) is ever going to make a difference in your situation.

Even more to the point, the difference is 0.03125.  So ditto above.

My bad.  Forgot that all important 0.  .3125 is 5/16....

Sad thing is that I can count to 100 in 32nds.  Its my only marketable skill. ;)

So you think it's negligible?  Hmmm...  Right now my glass top is resting on some clear spacers (specifically made for glass tabletops) and I get enough clearance. They are somewhere between 1/16" and 1/32" - oh well, it looks like I'll have to get out the router and make the rabbet a hair deeper...

The marquee that I just got from Mamemarquees.com is as thick as a piece of glossy photo paper.
