1/4" or 1/8" glass for Asteroids cocktail?
Restoring an Asteroids cabinet. Underlay is on it's way and I'm going to
get a piece of glass cut. The glass cutting place only offers 1/4" or 1/8" - and
I'm pretty sure the original Atari piece was 3/16". I don't want to go out and get
special clips and I certainly don't want to chisel into the wood on the underside
of the top to make 1/4" fit.
My question is - will 1/8" glass be strong enough or durable enough to act
as a cocktail glass top? I don't have kids and nothing would ever even be sitting
on top of the glass other than a cat. When not used the glass will be covered with
a blanket.
Thoughts?
