Re: Plexiglass

I would use 1/4" plywood if I were you. It's cheap and easy to work with. Plexiglass, while tough and cool, has a tendency to crack when you're working on it. We also tried using sheet polycarbonate, and the stuff just cracked and shredded like no other. However, because it was cheap, we just got huge sheets of the stuff.
