Home depot sells the stuff REALLY cheap. No one else in my area could even come close to the price Home Depot had Lexan from.

Also..... After I get the Lexan, what is the procedure on getting the decals attached to it? I've thought about it, and I have absolutely no clue on how to do it. If you know how, please tell me, and you will be handsomely rewarded............

Handsomely rewarded! Ooh! Ooh! I used scotch tape. laugh.gif My decals were cut from a NG softpad though.

I think the decals should also stick by themselves. On my second homepad they did. I used only thin sheets of plexiglass and the decals took to them like they were magnetized. It was behaving like static cling. There might be a physics lesson in this. nerd.gif

Scotch tape? you cheap azz bytch! E1.gif
j/k

FYI, The real way to do it is to halve the lexan thickness and make a decal sandwich between two thinner clear pieces. I saw it on that old, "build your own metal pad" website and its actually a really good Idea.
That way, the decal is heavily protected AND you can easily change it to whatever you want, whenever you want!

Hmmm......

Now my final question is how to print up the right size decals?
any ideas?

Personally, i got a 2' x 3' sheet of .250" lexan for $30 at The Home Depot. It's good stuff, and very durable. I can't wait until my pad is done... p
