"There are several different kinds of plexiglass. M company uses acrylite due to the fact that it doesn't throw any PVC gasses. Like with glass, they all kind of look a like so the people who make this product got wise and actually tagged each one of them with their own name, saying what they are. So when you are playing with them you figure out real quickly that you got premium clear cause it was what it said on it. If I took the piece of glass that we talked about a while ago and put it next to each other, you probably couldn't tell the difference by looking at it. But the only way you are going to tell the difference is by touching it, it's very durable, it bends. If I did that with the piece of glass I'd be cut. It's neat glass, it's neat to use cause if your picture frame drops your picture is going to be survived, your plexi might crack and your frame may break but your picture is going to survive which is the biggest cost of your puzzle."
