  • Use as few different length tubes as possible.
  • Tubing lengths under 5" tend to be difficult to disassemble due to their short length
  • If you will be flying with this display, will the longest tube length fit in your carrying case.
  • Clear Acrylic should be 1/4" thick if  horizontal, 1/8" acrylic works well for vertical installations.
  • I have developed a very durable scratch resistant coated Acrylic.  It is highly recommended because it is light and wears extremely well.
    • It is available in 1/8" and 1/4" thicknesses.
    • It is almost as scratch resistant as glass; the small "swirls of scratches" we are all familiar with does not occur.
    • Does not require special cleaners or polishes
  • Use graph paper to do the initial display design.
    • Draw a top view
    • Draw a side view
