I have this tiny blast cabinet, it just a couple of inches to small to work without opening the lid and turning the object. The "Plexiglas" lit with plastic sheets is worthless, since your always blasting near the damn top. I'm blasting mostly blind, stopping all the time to look where I am and what I did. You can imagine how this slows me down.
So I decided to rebuild the lit and give myself more space and replace the Plexiglas window with glass. Glass is so much harder then Plexiglas, I hope it will last months instead of 5 minutes.
I used some 12mm mdf and for the glass I used 15cmx20cm and 5 mm thick regular glass.

With new lit, rather crudely shaped but I hope I will do the trick.

I'm also going to insert some modern energy saving light bulbs replacing the old and dull plastic covered Tl. I use the energy saving lamps because the tent not to be that hot, which is in combination with dust rather dangerous.
