RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Viewport Question#2



You need to look at the maximum expansion and contraction of the acrylic, there is a recomended gap, the larger the piece the more gap required because of expansion due to temperature.

My viewports aren't near as pretty as those, but here's another question. Do they need to be that close ( .5 mm ) ? I've seen some that weren't anywhere near that close, and I assumed you need a little space around the plexi for sealer and possibly flex of the frame when diving deep. I am planning on ordering the plexi 1/8 inch small, so there won't be any direct contact between the plexi and steel. Am I screwing up? Frank D.
