control panel is made outa 3/4 mdf

if i pick up 1/8 lexan  that will mean i need 7/8 t molding correct?

or is there somthing iam not taking into account

This is for your CP top?  I'd use 3/4" t-molding to keep it consistent with the rest of your cabinet.  Cut the slot off center so when the lexan is on top the t-molding covers the entire edge of the lexan and most of the MDF.  This will leave 1/8" of MDF on the bottom not covered by the t-molding.  Use a chamfering bit with your router and chamfer the bottom 1/8".  You won't be able to tell at all that the piece is actually 7/8" thick.

Head over to the woodworking forum.  I believe there is a thread in there where all of the good Lexan suppliers are linked to.  I got a great sheet of 1/8" Lexan for almost nothing!!!
