Not if you paint the plexiglass with several coats to thoroughly block any transmission of light. This technique is thoroughly explained in one of Larry Becker's old Cheap Shots.


Sorry, the double reflection is caused by the light reflecting from the front (top) of the plex and also from the back (bottom). It has nothing to do with transmission out of the glass, just through it, and the paint does nothing to control/prevent that.

I have the tee shirt. I shot lots of product stuff, and if I could have used clear plex, I would have. I tried every trick I could find on the net. The only thing that worked was solid opaque black material, either glass, plex, or granite. Click the WWW link at the bottom of the post to see my results.

Try it yourself and show me!

Yeah, +1 on the double reflections comment. CWebster is right on the money.

Go by a Habitat for Humanity restore - they usually have an amazing amount of tile, granite surface piece (gotta love remodelers), etc for cheep.

You can also often get onesies from any of the real tile supply places as well.

Good Luck,

Yes, some will true up a broken slab and cur it to the size you want, there are lots of odd sizes at kitchen counter places. The issue is that they are heavy. Tile is lighter, but you will have the cracks where they join.

I have several granite counter tops out in my shop / studio, I picked them up for $20-$80 each. They make a very stable counter that does not vibrate easily, which is great for sensitive digital scales.
