[QUOTE="JohnWilson, post: 11370, member: 213"] Good advice here. Using wire as reinforcement generally makes an appliance weaker. Prefabbed wire screen mesh does more to hold the two pieces together when it breaks rather than make it stronger. Something rigid is the only thing that offers strength. It has to keep the acrylic from flexing to the fracture point. Something cast that is half the thickness is generally twice as strong as something prefabbed and bent. When forced to use prefab wire make multiple Z bends to zig zag the wire. When the acrylic covers it it will be harder to flex in one given direction thus making it stronger. [/QUOTE]
