[QUOTE="Raging Epistaxis, post: 2038625, member: 1169"] The closest I have come is cut-to-size glass. All of the plexiglas-type plastics I've tried retain some of the dye from the markers, especially when the drawings are left on for extended periods. If you do chose to use glass, I'd recommend at least double strength (1/4" or more thick or a laminated safety glass) and have whoever cuts the glass smooth the edges off. There's a custom glass shop locally who did it for me several years ago, but it wasn't cheap. If I remember, it was about 70$ for a 24"X24" safety glass panel or two, cut and smoothed. And no, this was not for use as a battle mat cover, but it would work just fine. The glass was for a sliding secretary window like you see at Dr's offices - made to handle a bit of jostling. We do write on it regularly at work with normal dry erase markers of all colors and they come off fine, even months later. Obviously, there is serious risk of breakage and personal injury with glass. I wouldn't recommend it. R E [/QUOTE]
