    Re: DIY Lexan Ground Glass

    Well I "only" had to look at 13 pp of "misc", after looking in other catagories before i found one- in the past there have been others, but i think i have redeemed myself with 13pp etc. I hope

    i wonder if a search with "ground glass" and no plastic works
    Search engines are inscrutable, and annoying- bastids as it were
    Good Luck
    regards
    Ed

    You can buy Lexan with a fine matt finish on one side which works very well for focusing.

    Steve, do you perhaps know the designation code of this type of Lexan?

    For my 14x17 and the new 14x17 to 20x24 that I am building I will use a plexi GG. It works great and is light weight. Also broken shards of glass in my bellows is something I do not want to have. I use a frosted window coating that is applied wet like window tint. Got it at my local Lowe's. Works great.
