Home Depo carries Lexan of various thicknesses and tints. There is a learning curve to cutting it. Be sure to buy extra. Also, a bevel looks professional. It is cheaper to practice on wood. If you use tinted material be sure to install it on a cool cloudy day. Heat will expand the tinted material more than your glass boat and may result in cracks. wankell Drill the screw holes a bit over size and that stops cracks from starting at the holes. |

And a perfectionist weill naturally polish the holes to a mirror smoothness. Brian Whatcott Altus OK |
