Where can I get blank belly glass?

[hivemeyer]

I own a graphic design company and would like to personalize my new toys. Where do you guys recommend I get my belly glass?

[luckydog]

most hardware stores stock plexiglass and will cut it to size for you.

customizer use 2 thinner pieces with grafics placed between them.

My DonDon King has a curved, formed shape. Is there anywhere that sells specifically for Pachislos?

King Camel and other machines use a thin shine through media sandwiched between two sheets of clear plastic. I have not tried a making curved plastic yet.
remove the belly glass from the machine and the chrome holder. yours might already have ther film sandwich.
It not make a plywood jig slightly smaller radius of your BG then bake 2 sheets of plexi in your oven then with gloves clamp to the form and let cool

thats just a flat glass that has a curve when mounted in the frame.

Huh?http://sailorpatp.com/chat/Smileys/L.../confused1.gif

its plain plexiglas with the art printed directly on it and the frame has mounts that force it to be curved. if you remove it and let it sit for a couple of hours it flattens right out by itself. the curve is maybe 1/4 inch over the full width. more like a bow than a curve.

Some times with Plexiglass, you can get a "polarized"effect when putting two plexiglass peices back to back. Best to test.

OK I was wondering where you could get a glass bender.
I was going to go down to Home Depot and ask them if they had one.
I thought I saw one there.... It was in the isle right between the board stretchers and the sky hooks.

I have included a photo of the DonDon King belly glass. The flanges show you how much it curves. I think they are necessary to hold the curve as well. If I put a flat piece in there, it would have gaps as I don't have a way to pinch it to the face.

So I guess what you all are saying is if you can't make it yourself, it ain't available.

Thanks to all who responded

BTW hive, disturbing avatar.... Floydian
Is the 'glas' one piece or does it come appart? how is the art fastened to the plastic?
you could print onto a vynil sticker and apply it to 1/16" plastic it is soft and very flexible.

The glass in the photo I attached above is one-piece and snaps into a "frame" that attaches to the machine.

I used to have a DDK. It would be almost impossible to make a clear belly glass for that machine. You would be better off buying another machine with a flat belly glass and modify it.
