UV treated plexiglass is only slightly more expensive than the non-treated. Being a 'homebuilt' group, I would think that most of us would handle the UV problem while building. Very good point, and I will make sure to use either anit-UV coated acrylic or scratch resistant polycarbonate when I build. I am no a doctor, and I do not play one on TV, but I have read that the skin cancer risk from sunlight may be greatly exaggerated--at least for most of us. OTOH, having switched to polycarbonate eyeglasses, I can definitely saw that the UV reduction is a *major* advantage. Reducing the UV level is a real benefit to vision in bright daylight, with no discernable loss of night vision, and might be usefull for heat reduction. If anyone has a comparison between tinting and UV reduction with regard to heating, the results would certainly be of interest. Peter |
