plexi or no plexi

<< < (2/2)

hunky_artist:
something I've always wondered...  do these printed vinyl CPO's stick to wood or MDF panels, or is it just for if you have a metal one?

I mean do they stick well enough to be able to do without using plexi

MonitorGuru:
They make some very very thin plexi meant to prevent glare off of pictures in picture frames.

I don't know the thickness, but .05" seems correct (1/20th inch).  

I put some on top of the brand new old stock MsPac overlays I bought for my Ms pac cocktail refurbish project, and I like them.  I rounded and sanded the edges so nothing to get caught on.  I wanted to preserve the integrity of the expensive overlays from bad children/(would-be former) friends :) /etc..  and it seemed to work well.

I would not have put on anything thicker like the 1/8" that most stores only have.

I got the 1/20th stuff at Home Depot for about $1.59 I think, but it's small so only is enough for 2 cocktail panels.


I left it on my Bubble Bobble (converted Defender) as it helped keep the stick-on decals from peeling.

Otherwise if you have nomal overlays then I'd suggest no plexi.

Nefesis:
hmmm... would no overlay be considered a normal overlay  ;)?
