Ultimately, when looking for a suitable alternative to curved glass, plexiglass seems like a viable option due to its cost and safety benefits. More specifically, the cost and weight of plexiglass make it an enticing option for repairs, especially when discussing large panels. Going into specific installations, I would need to take caution with the shaping and sizing, heating plexiglass to 250-350 degrees F or creating and using a template for an accurate repair, and albuming with the risk of scratching. In conclusion, and likely due to the provided instructions, there is little in doubt that I can use plexiglass to repair a circular plate.
