Step 4Measure and cut edging material
To achieve a nice edge around the opening for the LCD, we used some PVC lattice boards, which are 5/32in thick and 1 1/4in wide. We used these mainly because they were the thinnest piece of material we could find that was thin enough to not be noticeable and wide enough to extend down into the table for a proper installation.
After measuring our piece of glass (don't rely on the measurements you give the glazier, just in case it's not exact) we added 1/16th of an inch to each side. This is because the speedcloth will be wrapping around this edging, and we'd still like the glass to fit in the hole after it'd done. And that's 1/16th of an inch total per side, not on each end.
Sorry, no picture of the boards before they were taped together or put into the table, but this shows the looser fit with the glass inside.
