February 21, 200916 yr Author Anyone.....I Need SOme Ideas Fast Cuz Im Getting Ready To Finish It So I Can Show Yall And Provide Pics
February 22, 200916 yr Author Ok so i was looking at my box and an idea came to me. First off i wanted to put a Plexiglas on the top of the box so you can see the inside. Something along the lines of 17"X13". I would have to use several sheets so it could come out to a thickness of approx 1/2 because i don't want it to flex. Next i would paint the inside white and put a black light in there so everything would glow and paint the outside black like i had originally planned. One question though.....Will the florescent black light be able to survive inside the box??Let me know your opinions and ideas-Kent
February 22, 200916 yr i wouldnt layer plexi to get your thicknes might make a slapping noise. neons might work but if you can get leds go that route.
February 22, 200916 yr Author Will just one layer of Plexiglas glass work? The only one i could find at my home depot was about an 1/8 of an inch thick and I'm concerned it might flex. Do they make it in different thicknesses?-Kent

Do they make it in different thicknesses?Order online. I don't have any recommended vendors, but a quick Google for "plexiglass" led me to this.
February 22, 200916 yr Author Where are you located? I might be able to help you out.Im located in Katy Texas. Do you have some plexiglass? I was thinking of enbeding out a design or something so that the letters will glow when there presented to light. Something like this.....
February 22, 200916 yr you should try to get some 1/2in lexan over plexiglass although it cost more but is more durable and will withstand more abuse

February 22, 200916 yr Author Thanx For The Offer But I Just Ordered Some 3/4 In Plexi.Ill Keep Everyone Posted With Pics Of The Build
February 22, 200916 yr Author Well i got the front baffle made and i ordered a sheet of 3/4 inch Plexiglas. Sanded the big guy down real good and rounded down all the corners. I painted the inside white but it doesnt glow under the black light like I had originally planned. Guess I'm going to head up to the local hobby lobby and see if they have any florescent paint.Heres some pics of todays progress-
