Re: Plexiglass Thickness

You could also try 1/4 inch clear polycarb corriboard. It is normally used for insulation but we stack two pieces together and use it for stuff. It holds 10-24 bolts nicely. Don't drill or tap, just run them with a drill. It'llhold most things. However, for items like s CRio, you should solidly bolt it with washers on each side. Hope this helps.
