 |
|
I recently Bought a Cobalt Flux and I opened it up to change out the images under the pannels. Doing this I noticed How easy and simple the design was. So I said to myself psh.
Well My friend is paying me to make a pad for him and I decided I would work under the design of the CF. Everything is nice and dandy and cheap until it comes to the Plexiglass.
So my question is what have other people used for a plexi-ish alternative. Im looking for the cheapest yet effective alternative to Plexi. As of now I was looking at replacement arrows for an arcade pad. But those run about 20 $ a peice.

| Lexen panels. 9 sheet for 40.00 (shipping included) They work like a charm for me. |

Yeah, Lexan panels are what the Cobalt Flux uses; it's very rare for one of them to crack. |

Is this something I can buy at Homedepot and would I have to cut it myself?

| If you get the lexan from home depo there should be a scoring knife near it. It's pretty simple. Just score it a few times over a straight edge and pop off the excess piece. It cost me roughly $4 a piece for 11in by 14in sheets. And $3 for the knife. |

| If you can't figure out how to do it you can usually find one of the employees there to do it for you. |
