Project: Changing the Plexiglass on Chauvet Colorpalette

I broke one of my chauvet colorpallettes, the plexiglass is so thin, something pierced it and damaged the entire board. So now I'm changing the plexiglass to a much thicker one to protect better!
The standard chauvet colorpalette plexiglass is 1mm thick (very flimsy), I bought 3.5mm thick plexiglass to replace it!

@MrKorean30 not sure of a specific name, but its just a regular type exacto knife, just with a different shaped blade, it was in the same section as the plexiglass at the hardware store!

Is there an arriba bag that can hold two colorpalette's. Which arriba bag are you using for your colorpalettes. Thanks Isaac

@irgarza52 Hey Isaac, i got your msg (had two events this weekend - so no time yet) , but yes i use an arriba bag that fits 2 colorpalettes, i'll need to check the exact model when i get home for you, but it essentially has the dimensions of two colorpalettes stacked.

@irgarza52 yes, there is, that is what I do actually, I put two color palletes in 1 arriba bag, I think its the ac135...

did the same thing to my colorsplash jr. cans. Chauvet put these cheap platic cover to protect the led. I try using the glass cutter didnt work to great cuz I was trying to cut circles. I used a dremel it cut like butter. Plus looks great when I get a pair of the palettes im changing them out too.

thanks, i know it sucks... but man is that plexiglass ever thin, its ridiculous. SE Concept only had one used one left, so I was lucky to get, they don't carry that model anymore, they replaced it with one thats half the size, but double the price!
