I'm overhauling this, and while I have everything out (I have repainted the pachinko surface), I figure I might as well put on a fresh plastic cover for it. The question then is what do I exactly get to replace it with? It's a bit flexible, but still rather stiff, 3/64" wide. I've been doing a crash course in acrylic, polycarbonate, PETG, and I still can't figure out what it exactly is. I suppose I could just put in anything (1/16" seems to be widely available), but I like the flexibility of the stock, so I'd like to continue with this.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I found someone at Etsy that can do an acrylic sheet cut to order, so I'll guess that will have to do.

EDIT: The old sheet cleaned up rather nicely, so even with some issues around the screws, I'll just keep the old one.
