I had planned to use polycarbonate for the side windows and dutch doors, mainly to keep the weight down, ( the top half of my wheelhouse is removable for trucking purposes and possibly french canals ) , but now I'm not sure what I should use. I already have two sheets of 1/4" polycarbonate that was given to me so perhaps I should just use what I have for now with the understanding I'll be replacing it in a few years.
I sure wish that I had found this forum a few years ago when I started this project. |
Any of them can work just fine. I would not worry too much about it, especially if you already have the polycarbonate and if you are not planning a trip to the North Sea or something
There have been very successful applications of polycarbonate, acrylic and tempered glass.
