<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 229926, member: 78"]Hi Kat,</p><p> Plexiglass is not cheap and in several years it will change from clear as glass to a light yellowish cast. Believe me it is better to bite the bullet and get it fixed correctly. The difference between several hundred dollars now what it will cost later on is crazy. I have a standing cabinet that has a wonderful old wavy glass door. One corner got chipped and it would cost about 175 bucks to get a replacement. I found a stainglass company employee to come in and replace the chipped corner with a replacement and lead soldering. Cost was 25 bucks. I think I see a big piece of remaining glass there. Think about saving what you can and have a smaller piece made with a lead edge. It will be a lot cheaper I hope.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
