How do you make field covers?

Transparancies is an interssting idea, but how would you hold it to the green permenent layer underneath. If it just set loose on top I would think you would lose some of the vibration.

What if the clear was that "static" material? Or is that what Miggle uses that doesn't always remove so easily?

Well, one idea would be to use hobby magnets at the corners to keep it down on the surface. For custom-bullt boards, one could incorporate little brackets at the edges to slip the transparency into, as part of the framework.

Experimentation is obviously called for.

I believe Gerber and 3M make the clear static cling material.

3m does make it.

I have solved the problem, at least to my liking and anybody that knows me knows I'm hard to please.

Here are a few pictures of the SAME big board and 3 different REMOVABLE, REUSABLE covers.

Here's another on my board and MIZZOU is on Edgar's board at his house.

What was your approach to the problem?

Very nice field covers, BTW.
